Quitting Soda

Sodas are my enemy. I don't drink regular sodas anymore but I still use diet and zero sodas as a crutch. I can work out and eat correctly but sodas are that one thing that my mind just cannot overcome. Anyone else in here gone through the same thing?

    For me, soda keeps me from eating, especially at night. I drink store brand diet cola and I will only pour half a glass at a time, I fill the glass with carbonated water. 1 or 1.5 cans will last me through the day and night.

    As a crutch for what? What do you believe is the downside of drinking the diet (zero calorie) sodas?

    I was drinking way too much soda and then I found I really like the Bubly and Lacroix waters. I don't care for the taste of artificial sweeteners in diet soda but the flavored sparkling waters do the trick. I don't miss the sugar just the bubbles and I can have as many as I want and not feel bad.
