Clinical Assessment

12 Signs You May Have A Problem

Fizz Soda Dependency Disorder (FSDD) affects millions of otherwise functioning adults. Recognition is the first step. Stopping is optional.

01
Financial Compromise
You've reorganized your budget to ensure uninterrupted Fizz access, including negotiating at traffic lights.
02
Nocturnal Consumption
You've retrieved a hidden can after midnight while a partner slept beside you, opening it one millimeter at a time.
03
Spiritual Disclosure
You've discussed your Fizz consumption with a member of the clergy. Voluntarily.
04
Inventory Hoarding
You maintain hidden reserves in no fewer than three locations: desk, vehicle, and a spot your family doesn't know about.
05
Public Desperation
Strangers have witnessed you in active pursuit of Fizz Soda. Some were concerned. You were not.
06
Relationship Impact
A loved one has expressed concern about your Fizz consumption. You changed the subject. Smoothly.
07
Sobriety Theater
You've attended a recovery meeting, spoken sincerely, and had a can in your bag the entire time.
08
Asset Liquidation
Personal property — including but not limited to jewelry — has been exchanged for Fizz Soda or funds to purchase it.
09
Dietary Substitution
Fizz Soda has replaced one or more food groups in your daily intake. You've noticed. You've accepted it.
10
Mechanical Aggression
You have physically confronted a vending machine. The machine did not apologize. You persisted anyway.
11
Social Withdrawal
You've walked out of establishments, events, or family occasions specifically because Fizz Soda was not available.
12
Tolerance Escalation
What began as one can occasionally is now a minimum. You don't talk about maximums.

The Program

The 12 Steps of Fizz Recovery

Adapted from time-tested recovery frameworks. Modified slightly for carbonated beverage dependency.

"I completed all 12 steps. Then I found a Fizz in my coat pocket and started over. Step 1 is actually quite peaceful."

— Brenda T., Member Since 2023

01
Admit Powerlessness
Acknowledge that Fizz Soda has become unmanageable. Note: finishing the can before admitting this does not count as starting Step 1.
02
Believe in a Higher Power
Come to believe that something greater than yourself could restore you to sanity. Note: that thing cannot be Fizz Soda.
03
Turn Your Will Over
Make a decision to turn your life over to the care of your higher power. Empty all hidden cans first. We'll wait.
04
Moral Inventory
Make a searching and fearless inventory of yourself. Do not count the Fizz inventory. That is a separate list.
05
Admit Your Wrongs
Admit to your higher power, yourself, and another human the exact nature of your wrongs. The traffic light incident counts.
06
Readiness for Removal
Become entirely ready to have all defects of character removed. Hoarding, negotiating, pawning — all of it.
07
Humbly Ask
Humbly ask your higher power to remove your shortcomings. This is different from asking the vending machine for your money back.
08
Make a List
Make a list of all persons you have harmed and become willing to make amends. This includes the guy at the traffic light.
09
Make Direct Amends
Make direct amends wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. The ring can probably be retrieved.
10
Continue Inventory
Continue to take personal inventory and when wrong, promptly admit it. Except on Fridays. Fridays are difficult.
11
Seek Through Prayer
Through prayer and meditation, improve your conscious contact with your higher power. Do not pray for a Fizz. We've tried.
12
Carry the Message
Having had a spiritual awakening, carry the message to other Fizzaholics. Bring snacks. Not Fizz. Something else.
Member Stories

They Said It. We Believed Them.

★★★★★

"I've been Fizz-free for 11 days. It's the longest I've gone since 2019. My family says they can see a difference. I don't know what they mean but I'm choosing to take it as a compliment."

"The 12 Steps changed my life. I completed them all in one sitting. Then I found a Dreamberry under the couch and had to start over. Step 1 is actually kind of cozy when you know what's coming."

"I sold my watch for a 12-pack. Looking back, it was a fair trade. That watch never made me feel the way Fizz Dreamberry does at 2am when everyone is asleep."
