I find coffee to be the best replacement but never liked sugary sodas, only the sugar-free ones.
I still have a diet soda now & then but not even once a week.

As another person suggested try to substitute with something similar.
It doesn't have to be purely fizzy water, I used to mix seltzer with a little pineapple juice. Pick whatever you like and start there, you might eventually appreciate just the seltzer on its own and not need the juice.
Just try not to replace a ton of sugar with a ton of sugar, so even with the fruit juice 1/2 & 1/2 would be a start as opposed to 3/4 juice 1/4 seltzer, the opposite of that of course being best.
I was in a similar boat previously and can attest that seltzer helped me shake the habit. And then I got bored of that so I just drink water, sometimes with flavor packets (think Crystal Light). I still buy a bottle of diet caffeine free coke now and then, but it's a rare, special treat.
permanently. no idea. temporarily a substitute is nice. hibiscus tea worked somewhat now.
Replace with something else - back when I was actually addicted to soda, I realized how expensive it all was and replaced it with drinking tea.
Of course, might not be viable if you're an american.
While we did dump most of our tea in boston harbor way back when, some did make it's way through our borders since then.
American and I drink all types of teas???
My european mind can't comprehend making tea without an electric kettle, something that is very rarely used in the US
Electric kettles are great and I'd love to have an adjustable temperature kettle for precise heating. I usually heat my water in the microwave because it's quick and I only make a cup or two a day tops.
I got off of soda by drinking plenty of water in place of it. Good luck!
I had to stop drinking carbonated beverages and caffeinated beverages at the advice of my voice trainer - and I kicked the habit by getting some fruit juice concentrate and drinking that (diluted in water obviously) when I was craving a fizzy drink. It didn't take long for me to stop craving them entirely, honestly. If its the fizzy part you crave, then add it to sparkling water instead. Good luck stranger.
Just stop. There are no tricks.
Do or do not.
Thanks Master!
that's disgusting dude. try soda water. fucks sake
Chat is it frowned upon to drink beverages
i don't know if it's frowned upon to drink that much sugary garbage every day but it should be
