Congratulations on your achievements. That is great!! 
I recently gave up pop 6 weeks strong and am using lemon water and Sparkling Ice to still give myself something yummy to drink. I gave up smoking 9 years ago as a promise to my son. Pop/soda has been just as difficult if not more for me than when I quit smoking.

Jnei:
I've recently cut right back on alcohol (I wasn't alcoholic, but decided it would be a good thing to do) and have replaced it with copious quantities of sugar-free lemonade - so I'm one step behind you! I gave up smoking five years ago, and I'm so glad I did: my asthma has been much better ever since.
When I started drinking carrot juice for my eyes , it helped . I haven't had pop in years . I just quit drinking pop .
I need caffeine to survive. I've never liked alcohol. It has been 2 years with no alcohol. 6 years without weed.

@silvereyes Yeah, that's something I like about it. I drink it all day long. Probably bad huh?
Ya , it has caffeine . Not knowing that ruined an attempt to be so .
Well, compared to what you posted, I feel like a complete drug addict for my need of coffee and chocolate! But good job none-the-less!
