How can I quit drinking coke and other soft drinks?

Question

I drink a lot of coke and get big migranes and headaches. i have tried to quit but i cant and i need your help.

Answer 1

You're addicted to caffiene. Try drinking bottled water or crystal light and take caffiene pills to kill the headaches. Cut the pills in half and slowly ween yourself off caffiene.

You could also try iced tea or hot tea. It has caffiene but a much lower amount.

Answer 2

I also had migraines, but they slowed or stopped when I...

1. Got into routines, like drinking the same number of cups of coffee, at almost the same time in the morning, every day.

2. Stopped drinking caffeine after lunch. I'll have a Diet Coke by 1:00, but the upper stays in your system 10 hours, so if you want to sleep better, too... that's my advice.

3. Got a prescription for Butalbital (sp?) from my dotor. It's basically concentrated caffeine in pill form, with other additives that can ease migraines when you are hit with them.

Answer 3

Try drinking water and get small packages of Crystal Light or Propel. no calories- it's flavored water. much better than Coke!

Answer 4

Each day drink less and less. And eventually you won't drink it anymore. I used to be the same way. And then i replaced soft drinks with water, and now water is all that i drink. I can't stand soft drinks anymore.

Answer 5

I used to drink a lot at work, and it was just a habit, so I now keep a bottle of water at my desk and drink from it. If you can't go straight from soda to water, try juice first or gatorade and then go to water...

Answer 6

I switched from Coke to Diet Coke, then from Diet to carbonated water, then to just regular water.

Answer 7

Easy. Show some character and fight by

a) stop buying them
b) stop drinking them

Very simple.

Answer 8

Don't buy any for the house, so when you're home you can't drink any, that's a start.

Answer 9

I stopped buying them. I added up how much money i spent on it and it made me think. Plus stopping soda makes you lose weight...
