- Hello, everyone.
I have an addiction of drinking fizzy drinks.
I do drink them a lot.
Doctors have told me to stop immediately,
but I haven't been able to do so yet.
So I have decided to use some help from tik tok.
I know this is a fun platform,
but I'm just trying to get some help get some help.
(dramatic orchestral music)
I had my first fizzy drink at the age of five or six.
When I had the first fizzy drink It was something new
and I enjoyed it.
Maybe at the age of 19-20,
I started realizing that I'm having
too many fizzy drinks,
and I might be seeing some physical effects
of it like overweight or some of those sorts of things.
I did my engineering in India and then I want
to go to Australia, come to Australia
(airplane engine raving)
to study abroad.
When I go to the doctor in India, of course,
they have said that you are having overweight mainly
because of fizzy drinks.
And then when I came here,
and when I went to a GP here in Australia, of course,
I caught the same thing that you are overweight
because you are having fizzy drinks.
If you are having an addiction,
and if you hide it,
it will be even more detrimental to you in the future.

I tried many ways of getting rid of my addiction before.
With the calendar method,
I don't remember how I started how I knew about it,
but I just started.
So what I was doing is when I
was having a fizzy drink,
I was doing a tick mark on the calendar for that day.
And when I was not having a fizzy drink,
I was doing a cross mark on the calendar for that day.
So of course, in the end,
I wanted to see more crosses than more ticks.
Sometimes I get 20 crosses and 10 ticks.
That means I have had fizzy drinks for 10 days
and not have fizzy drinks for 20 days.
But eventually after that,
the ticks started forming a bit more
and I came back to having more fizzy drinks.
Maybe the calendar method were more successful
because, I was seeing the history of what I
was doing throughout the month.
And it was sort of like a visual representation
of my efforts which I have made in the past.
I remember nine years ago,
I haven't had a fizzy drink for 45 days straight.
So I do have that target in mind which I have to beat.
Even one day or two day was big for me,
because I was so addicted.
So when I did 45 days I was actually proud of it.
I was trying to get rid of
this addiction so many times before
but I have been unsuccessful.
And I thought my body is hoping now fine which is okay,
but if I don't stop this addiction,
it will definitely be detrimental.
(upbeat music)
I might have downloaded tik tok in my phone
and I was checking Tik Tok like what Tik Tok is
and I saw videos, and then the idea came
in my mind that, what if I started using Tik Tok
to post my videos to,
so that some people will support me
and I will become more accountable
and then it will help me in stopping fizzy drinks.
Hello everyone.
I have an addiction of drinking fizzy drinks.
So that was basically admitting that I have an issue.
As we know that, to fix an error,
the first step is to admit that you have an error.
I have decided to drink just one day Sunday,
every Sunday a fizzy drink.
I have been trying so many times before
and unsuccessful as well,
because I thought that I was not that strong.
I was not sure that whether I will continue
after six days or not or something like that.
Hello, everybody.
Just to let you know that it's almost 24 hours now.
And I haven't had any fizzy drink whatsoever.
Hello, everyone.
Second day today.
No fizzy drinks.
Hello, everyone.
No fizzy drink today for me.
Hello, everyone.
No fizzy drink for me today.
Hello, everyone.
No fizzy drink for me today again.
Hello, everyone.
No fizzy drink for me today.
And tomorrow is Sunday.
And you remember I said previously I'm going
to have one fizzy drink on Sunday.
But guess what?
I'm not going to have any fizzy drink tomorrow.
You know Why?
All because of the support, motivation,
feedback and encouragement you guys have given.
I don't crave it anymore.
So really, really thank you guys for the support.
Overall, no fizzy drink in six days.
So every milestone was important
to me like when I did first week.
So it's now seven days since I had a fizzy drink.
It's now 10 days since I had a fizzy drink.
As you all know my first aim is
to break my previous record of 45 days.
So today I have completed 14 days, two weeks.
Today I have broken the nine year old record
of 45 days.
To celebrate this, once again I am going
to have a glass of water.
When I was reaching 100 days,
I was really excited and I did say to everyone
that Without you guys,
this wouldn't have been possible.
To celebrate this,
I'm raising this glass of water on behalf of everyone.
Like when a cricketer does 100 rounds,
he raised a bat or something.
The main lesson for me and I have shared this
with many people as well is,
we all are more stronger than what we think.
That's the main thing.
So for me, I looked a bit in the future,
and I realized that Okay, I have this addiction.
If I don't stop,
it will be negative effects to me,
but think about it in future and then think
that you are more stronger than what I think.
Believe in yourself.
Start your own journey as soon as possible.
The earlier you start, the better it will be.
