In this new year, I need to forgo some habits that have been part of me and have been affecting me seriously.
I am someone who loves to take cold water, when I say cold not just regular cold water, I love to see ice in my water, I can never eat or drink ordinary water without ice, when I say cold I mean the mortuary standard ice, this habit is getting to me and also affecting my health.
HOW I LOVE TO ENJOY MY MEALS WITH COLD WATER
Every member of my family has been on my case for a very long time, my mother had tried all she could just for me to stop this habit, I do not know why but I love taking ice water all the time.
MY NORMAL WAY OF DRINKING WATER
Last month I suffered From cold and catarrh, I couldn't eat for days because I was so down, my nose was blocked, my body ached and it affected my voice so that no one could hear me talk, I was forcing myself to talk but my voice was so low that no one can hear me, I couldn't pick my phone calls for days, I was texting most of my friends just to tell them I wasn't feeling too well but upon all this, I can give up on my cold water, instead of me taking hot tea or warm to relieve me of the pain I was passing through, I kept on taking my cold water.
THE COUGH SYRUP MY SISTER BOUGHT FOR ME
Everyone was pitting me because of my condition even my sister went to the pharmacy to get me drugs, I would cough as if my liver was coming out, I had nasal discharge, and also loss of appetite, in all this the only thing I can take is cold water, this thing is killing me but I still enjoy it.
MY SICK FACE
My sister talked to me about this and how I am endangering my health, she spoke to me about the health issues that come with taking cold stuff not just cold but ice, I chew ice as if I am eating, though I know the disadvantages of taking this thing but I still keep on pushing it.
This year I am determined to stop taking ice, though I have been working on myself, I am getting used to taking normal cold water without adding ice and also I have been introducing myself to normal room-temperature water, my brother has been helpful too because he has disconnected the refrigerator and I am left with an ordinary fridge that just make the water cold and not the ice one, this has been working for me because for some days now I have been taking normal water without ice.
Though it has not been easy without taking ice water but I need to stop this habit this year if I do not want to nurse any sickness in the future, my health is very paramount to me, I do not want anything that will affect my life.

I laughed when i read 'mortuary standard ice' cold water is good and also bad but thank God you understand yourself.
Like me now i can't drunk cold water 🌊💦 ; there are times i drink warm water to avoid pneumonia, catarrh and cold. You need to stop it dear
I am stopping it this year my dear, I am afraid of my health and I do not want to be nursing any sickness in future. Thank you for your support
You are my confirmed GEE and discovered we share another thing in common made me laugh.
My mom will tell me to drink cold water whenever I complain about cold or catarrh and that tells you how tired she has gotten trying to discourage me from drinking cold water.
We should work on it together... Discipline is the key and we can't just stop these things in a day.
This is very bad, mine I s extremely too much, I wish to discipline myself from it, everyone is tired of me in the house.
Does taking cold water really have any health implications? My doctor friend told me there is nothing like that. I also have that problem and I don't think I am ready to give it up. God help us all, lol.
I guess too much of it is not good even when I was sick I still stick to cold water not ordinary one with ice in it. We just need to caution ourselves.
LoL 😂 I was once like that o, when I was working in the factory I can't do without cold water infact ice block until I got sick and I was told to reduce how I take cold water.
I have to leave it by force this year because of health issues
My dear, just do your best unless you want to call neumonia which is a very terrible sickness for both kids and adults, also at old age you fear attrithis I know you have heard all these. Moreso you are a woman......
I beg you, stop. If possible go for warm water for a while mixed with ginger for a while that's if you don't have ulcer. I wish you well.
I will try it, I am already working on myself and I will definitely stop it because everyone has been warning me against it and I know it is bad but I just want to enjoy myself, this year I am letting it go.
Enjoy you said? That's fine
The best of the enjoyment to you
Since the damage cold water did to my system, I repented and never to take it again. I think the year of your true repentance is here lols...
May you not go back to your vomit.
Amen oo, I will make sure I stop the addiction this year even this month
My parents has been warning me about cold water for a while now. I guess our oldies knows where it’s leading to. As much as cold waters aren’t that good, I can’t help but drink it during this heat season.
