Giving up Fizzy Drinks
Fiveteen years ago, I made a decision to stop consuming fizzy drinks. Before that, I used to drink them quite often. That happened when I started reading and educating myself about their ingredients.
Soft drinks contain high levels of sugar, chemicals, and with insignificant nutritional value. At the same time, consuming fizzy drinks has been linked by several scientific researches with many diseases like diabetes.
Drinking fizzy beverages turned gradually to be unfavorable experience to me which usually ended with so much of self blame.
I then reached a point when I quit drinking them all together. Since that time, I've stuck to my decision, despite being exposed and offered fizzy drinks from time to time as my family members and friends are still consuming them.
I also helped a friend of mine to drink less of soft drinks. I haven't yet convinced her to quit her fizzy drink habit, but I constantly remind her of the bad effects of this habit and she always take my advice in her account.
Today I look back and highly appreciate the decision I made. Our health is very precious to be put in danger just to enjoy a cup of fizzy drinks.

*In the U.S. it sounds odd to say "fizzy drinks". An alternative would be "soda", or "pop".
** Because you said "many diseases", it would sound more natural in English to list more than one disease. For example: "...with many diseases, like diabetes, obesity, and heart disease."

I like it how you used the term "fizzy drinks". That's what we say in New Zealand, and Australia and Britain too.
The formal term is "carbonated beverages", but nobody says that in conversation.
