The Cola Challenge

I kicked Pepsi and Coke cold turkey three or four months ago. Yet some people are having difficulties with believing that. They offer me a bottle, I politely decline and feelings get hurt. Like I'm insulting them by turning away an act of kindness. I try to explain that I was experiencing certain difficulties, brainstormed possible reasons why and am making changes in long established routines in an attempt to feel normal again. Some people buy my explanation, others apparently assume that I don't have the willpower to follow through. But it's been awhile now and I'm feeling no urges to weaken my resolve.
