Just start pounding water. Take the number of pounds you weigh. Cut in half. Drink that many ounces per day. It will suck because you won't be getting the strong taste like you say... But you will be very well hydrated throughout the day. You'll feel a lot better too. Eventually you will stop missing soda, just gotta stay strong


Try and start loving water. Fresh, ice cold water. Whenever you crave the soda, pound water.
