    The caffine headache is MURDER when you stop cold turkey. Stop slowly, I used to drink 5 to 6 diet sodas a day. I stopped by dropping a can per week. I now have 1 can per week on Thursday when I go out to lunch at work. I wouldn't drink soda on the weekend and by Monday I had a killer headache that went away shortly after I got to work. It took going to the dr. to realize it was caffine withdrawl.

    cutting out the soda was pretty hard!! I drank 3-4 20 oz diet Pepsi a day, now I dont even crave them :) I just started cutting back every two weeks or so I would drop a 20 oz, and then when I was down to one a day I went to a can a day, then I just decided to try none for a week. That was it, now I only have one once in awhile and its usually when I am out. I be sure to have my water with me all the time, that helped a lot. You can do it, just have faith in yourself :)

    Hey, coke is one of my biggest vices. It tastes so good, but I know I have to cut down..if not eliminate it. GOOD LUCK!

    Whew... i had a long standing 'coke' addiction. My first drink not in the bottle was a 6oz glass bottled coke... not kidding i was 10 months old, parents didn't get it back then haha. I drank 3-5 cokes a day when we could get them all the way up until I was 20 or so... I realized I had to cut back, did it gradually as you're doing. I drink maybe 3 coke zeroes a week now (and only the 12 oz cans- too worried with fountain drinks I love those too much), never could get into diet coke. (just wasn't a fan- everyones different). I drank CB2 when it came out a a low carb coke, haha.... so I've run the gammit.

    I mean they probably wont kill us, but water is what your body needs, not the other stuff. It gets easier. :)
