    I cut soda cold turkey almost two years ago, after 10 years of only drinking caffeine-free soda. I was addicted to the sugar, not the caffeine. It was really hard the first two weeks. In the last couple of months I've had root beer (a former favorite) and it honestly tasted so gross that I tossed the almost full can. I felt terrible for wasting it, but gah - nasty! I still love Barq's root beer (but can't have it anymore because of the caffeine) and fountain Sprite, but even that doesn't really taste good anymore. :P Good luck, that soda addiction is incredibly hard to break but is SO worth it (dropped 10 lbs without exercising over the course of a couple of months simply but cutting out soda).

    ETA: PS. My urologist said that sodas and sweet teas paid for both his kids to go to college - lots of his patients had health issues directly related to the crap they ate/drank.
