Has anyone managed to do it?

I managed to seriously cut down on caffeineand soda, and without trying too hard.
Just find something else to drink, quite simple really.
I used to drink tea, but just went off it (hardly drink it now), never liked coffee, so I was lucky like that.
Coke, I used to drink loads, but now I drink about 40% of what I used to drink (probably still too much though).

Go for decaffeinated coffee/caffeine free coke/water/other non-caffeine stuff.
Soda != caffeine.

Yeah i used to drink about 10 cans of mountain dew a day. I quit cold turkey. I had headaches constantly and was tired for about a month but after that i have felt much better just over all. A lot less tired through out the day. Its been about 1.5 years since i quit drinking soda. And i cant complain.

I stopped buying soda a few months ago. I drink caffine every now and then, but I don't drink nearly as much.

Coffee sounds good . . . why can't there be drive thru coffee joints here? :(

Seriously, soda is bad for you. Kudos for trying to quit. I try and drink as much water as possible, but I can't resist the trips to starbucks. I've thought about getting a coffee maker myself, but wouldn't have any idea how to use it. :p
