Anyone got tips for quitting soda? I know it's bad for me but it's difficult to go a meal without it. My parents did a pretty shitty job raising me and this is just one of those things. I got used to it from them drinking 2-5 cans of soda a day. I don't drink as much as they do but I'd still like to cut it out.

I've tried drinking water, coffee, tea, and those crystal light things but nothing satisfies me during a meal like a cold, crisp and refreshing soda. I need something cold and with taste during meals. Juice works but it's almost as bad as soda. Milk works sometimes but not often enough.

I swear I can smoke a pack of cigarettes and not buy another for a year, get drunk off a handle of whiskey and not drink again for a few months but soda is the one thing that traps me.
