Just focus on your goal, and if you really do want that liscense, you'll be able to quit. So just keep trying.

But some people have found gum as a good substitute for their addicted thing, so maybe gum will help.

Ive tried gum. It helped me for two weeks, then I caved and got a three liter bottle of caffinated Root Beer.

Cold turkey just doesn't work for me. I always eventually cave in and just gorge on what I had been denying myself.

That being said, I used to be highly addicted to soda myself. I drank at least two glasses a day. But recently, I've started drinking just half a can a day, and no more. I've lost several pounds, just from doing that. Just one can of Coke gives you all the sugar you should consume for the day, you know. That was my main motivation to cut down on the stuff, and I think it should be motivation for everyone.

But I knew I couldn't give it up entirely. This is why I imposed the half-a-can limit on myself each day. I drink just enough to satisfy my craving, but not so much that it ruins my diet. At first, I didn't think it was going to work, but it actually does. Now I usually feel too guilty to actually drink the whole can anymore. Sometimes an entire day goes by and I realized I never even thought of drinking soda.

So, in the long run, drinking soda in moderation did a lot more good for me than just giving it up entirely. You should try it out. After a while, you'll realize how unnecessary caffeine was in your life after all.

That sounds doable. And it will help condition me for Encampment. I might just try what you said, Nail Strafer

This is also important when you set up a limit for yourself:

When you actually drink the soda, make sure you are not distracted. Drink it slowly and think about nothing but savoring the taste. You'll feel a lot more satisfied when you're done, and you'll be less tempted to drink more later.

Satisfying a food or drink craving is as much about the experience as it is actually consuming what it is you crave.

Try buying water instead. It may not only help, but it's also good for you.
