How I did it: Giving up soda hasn't been the easiest of things.  To do it, I started by just not getting any when we would go out to eat and then not buying it for home either.  Then, I refused to drink it when at friend's or family's houses.  I've been drinking lots of water, juice and caffeine free tea instead.

Lessons & tips:

• Make sure that you don't stop all at once because the withdrawal headache when you come off of the caffeine hurts A LOT.
• Keep lots of other beverages around, like water, juice or lemonade.
• Just order water when eating out.  You'll save a bit of money on your bill as a bonus!

Resources: My water purifier was my savior. :)
