I wanted to quit drinking Coke, so here's what I did:
First, switch from Coke to Coke Zero...it's not that bad, and Coke Zero has no calories, no carbs.
Next, after you have completely switched to Coke Zero, switch to Sprite Zero. Just like Coke Zero, Sprite Zero has nothing AND it's clear...just like water...see where I'm going?
Then, start drinking a mixture of 1/2 Sprite Zero and 1/2 cold water.
Finally, switch to water. This program worked for me, remember baby steps is the key to quitting anything.
Like smoking; Cigarettes-Cigars-Pipe tobacco-nicotine gum-quit.

You need to have a mind set. If you think of it from a calorie set. Soda maybe 110 calories per serving. Cut the soda so you can have those "empty calories" for something else. You cannot just drink water, it get's boring. Try tea, juice, crystal light, or something else. Tell your self I can treat myself to a soda on Saturday. Then have it on Saturday.
***Do not keep alot at home, if you want it make yourself go get it at the store***
I usually drink soda when I go to dinner with friends, or once in a while at work. I was addicted to soda for years. I drank a 6 pack a day, and 1 was before bed. So it worked for me, give it a try!

It's like literally impossible...believe me I've tried. However, I do drink 1-2 bottles of water a day, and a cup of water before bed, as well as some soda. I'm like addicted to the fizz.

just drink less and less of it as the days go by, because soda is damn good. especially orange and sprite! the less you buy it you'll forget about it and sooner than you know it you'll be stopped completely. you have to try different types of juices also. find one you love to drink. i drink soda every once in a while but i have to really feel for it.

Don't buy it. Soda is one of many things that makes some people unhealthy. If anyone offers you soda, then say no. Try and start to drink healthier drinks like iced tea, milk, water(can be flavored), and sometimes fruit juices like orange juice or apple juice. I love apple juice.
