Stop purchasing it?

If you are seriously addicted to the stuff, figure out why...

Sugar?

(or)

Caffeine?

An addiction shouldn't be ignored, cold turkey, but rather be replaced over time.

You will find the subconscious mind doesn't care about wants and dislikes, but insteads focuses and leads you towards a topic. So if a fat person hates being 'fat', the topic dwelled upon is the issue, ironically leading the body towards more food for comfort. Same deal for smoking or any other addiction. You dwell upon the issue too much, it actually leads you more towards it.

Hense this is where a replacement is required, else you are left with an empty hole which just increases in cravings.

In your case, Coca Cola is high in sugars and caffeine, which your body probably now takes as it's number #1 quick energy source. Therefore being relying on it. Removing it cold turkey might end up with headaches and low energy. Your fighting against your body's survival instint.

Ideally you want to slowly replace it, adding a smaller amount of what is craved.

If it's sugar, then replace most of the drinks with water, adding some lemon or fruit juices that has more natural sugar to it.

If it's caffeine addiction, then replace most of the drinks with a coffee.

Just quit. I did and haven't drank for four years. It's quite strange how I can tell myself to stop eating and drinking certain foods and drinks.

I...I don't know what to tell you. Just stopped drinking pepsi and that's it. Haven't had any for years. But I had substitute - orange juice.

make orange juice or lemonade, drink it instead of cola

Worst thing about quitting soda pop is the fookin' caffeine headache after not having it for a few days.

I switched to Sprite and toughed out the headache, then switched to koolaid (generic schitt from walmart), mostly grape, to hide the foul taste of the water here, even filtered it just tastes wrong. Probably gonna die from some weird pathogen in the drinking water.

Isnt it basically burned sugar? Or heated up sugar?

[crgzero]

Not much soda in the U.S. has real sugar in it, it's sweetened with High Fructose Corn syrup,,, which is bad schitt.

A few years ago Pepsi released some of their sodas as thowbacks/special editions/whatever and were bragging about using real sugar in them. I drank dr pepper like a fish back then so i bought some,,,, it tasted like utter garbage.
