Taking your question "Literally" I would say start drinking Pepsi instead and brush your teeth all the time!
But If you are talking about Coke in general, then the best way is to feel how excessively sweet it is. Do your best and try not to drink Coke for a week or at least 4 days, and instead drink water all the time (also 3-4 cups of water with every meal). For a week you will be too full most of the time to consume any extra drink. After the week is over try drinking Coke Diet. Since you haven't had Coke for a long time your tongue will feel that its sooo sweet. At that point it you need to start consume an alternative drink(since you won't spend your life drinking water only, and you won't hold too much before you like that sweet taste again). A good alternative can be anything but Coke and other stuff you find harmful ...... so you pick (for example natural juice or even keep on water if you want)!

I was just like you 5 months ago. All I drank and spent my money on was coke. I was addicted. One day I just got tried of feeling like my teeth were going to rot so I stopped cold turkey and now all I drink is water, lemonade and cranberry juice. Once in a while I will have soda in general but I try to stay away from it as possible.

Try drinking ICED TEA. It's just as any calories and probably as bad for you but at least it will get the caffeine out of your body and then you can work your way back to just drinking plain water.

Since when does Iced Tea help your body get rid of caffeine?

you just have to learn to like things. i'm sure there are other drinks you don't exactly love but don't hate.
if you start to drink other things regularly you'll start to like them.
you should be drinking water. it will make you feel much better. :)
there are lots of flavored and carbonated waters. that are a lot like pop.
i just like it plain.

Start experimenting with different sodas. You could even try Crystal Lite.
