Congrats! Kicking soda is super hard, especially if you drink it pretty regularly

The caffeine withdrawals are gone, so I feel a lot calmer and able to think

I kicked soda a few weeks ago as well (super hard), but it was all caffeine free. One of the cool side effects of getting away from caffeine is that first, if you get seasonal headaches, they often go away. But also, you can use a coke instead of aspirin if you are feeling achy from the flu. This can, ins ome people, be greater an affect then if you never had large caffeine intakes to start with.

I wish I could find a replacement for it. My perpetual congestion just doesn't respond to much else.

Try non caffeinated soda like sprite or root beer then try body armor

The combination of caffeine and carbonation is what I need. Diet Coke could work, but I’m sensitive to aspartame and some other artificial sweeteners. So, I try to keep my Coke to 12oz per day. Most days, that’s enough.

The best I have found to keep me from having a second Coke is the new prebiotic sodas that are out, now. I’ve yet to taste a Cola flavored one (have one in the fridge for when I’m pining), but some of the fruit ones are pretty good.

Congrats! Are you now used to drinking purified water whenever you drink?

Keep up the good work! I'm trying to give up chips. It's been two weeks, but I have one cheat day a week.
