Well, you could just cut back. Just drink littler and littler amounts every day. Drink more water. That definately cuts back on obsessions! Hope I helped* Please rate high! - xoxo

just stop buying coca cola! Buy other drinks from the store and you can't drink it because you don't have it in your house!

then take all your coke away from your house. you wont have it there. then slowly try to get your mind away from drinking coke and get your mind to drinking water, or sprite or something...I mean if you drink sprite, dont get addicted on that, too. just see how you do without it. but if you need it like a poor guy needs a cigarette, then you might wanna see a doctor or something. hope i helped.

start by drinking a caffien or diet coke so that it is more healthy.

Try to find a substitute drink (thats healthier)
Make sure theres no cola in your house so your not tempted. Count thirty days from the day you offically decided to start this. Count thirty days and you should be cured other wise count another thirty days. Keep doing this untill your off cola. It's advised that you don't drink cola ever again.
good luck

I love coke too. My parents usually don't but any soft drinks so I don't get tempted and drink a ton. I would either try drinking something else and get hooked on that (something a little better for you) or have your parents not buy a ton of coke, so that you are not tempted to drink so much. But really you shouldn't have to worry, limit yourself to every once in a while and you should be fine.
~Hope I was of help~

My suggestion would be to find another drink that you like just as much as coca cola. That way you won't even think about having coca cola. Remember, it's ok to have coca cola once in a while, but not every day.

Well you could:
*replace it with something that is not bad for you to drink everyday of the week
*don't buy anymore
Hope I helped!

ok well dont worry too much about it, but i understand on how you want to stop. i dont really kno how you can stop, but just keep the thought in your mind that it is unhealthy for you and it can in the long run (if you stop drinking) make you lose weight, and its good for you skin if you dont drink.. good luck tho!!

Yeah, drink it all up so theres no more in the house, then order your parents to stop brining it home.
Or, just stop, its really not that hard to control.

Drink Diet coke. Or caffeine free Diet Coke. Its better for you and you'll still be drinking coke. You sorta gotta get used to the taste tho.

you should drink water it is really good for your skin and makes you feel energized, fruit smoothies are also a great alturnive (sp). but to quit?? how do you get coke a cola? vending machine, family or however, dont bring money to be able to drink it or dont bring it to school, after a awhile you wont be as hooked on it. pleze rate

Slowly move down to less and less caffiene.
Say you drink 5 coke cans a day. Try drinking 4 for about a week, then 3 and so on.
If that doesn't work, let's say you drink 5 coke cans a day. Try switching it will lemonade or another flavored drink. Once you don't hace coke cravings, you can move to flavored water, and soon pure water.
Go as slow as you need, step by step.

Hey hun, oh man i love coke too! :-p
Well coca cola has cafene (sorry im horrible at spelling) , whish is very addicting.. thats what probably makes you want it everyday, and of course the taste. No its not good to drink it everyday, i mean it probably wont hurt you or anything but i wouldnt say its good haha. Try stichting everyother day to start with another really good drink you like, prefibly not soda. Or just hide it from yourself lol. Good luck, and don't be so worried, its not like its alcohol or anything bad :) Hope i helped

How about the truth, I know you are young and your body is forgiving. You can abuse it and it won't show up for many years....but....carbonated beverages like cola contain phospherous. That phospherous leeches calcium from your bones and teeth. So in 40 years or so, you will get osteoporosis, and could loose your teeth, and have to wear dentures. I know forty years from now seems like a long time, but you'll still need your bones and teeth then. When you get osteoperosus, your bones get porus and brittle and you can develope a dowagers hump. (look that up)
Also the caffine in cola's are not good for you, they also can leach calcium from your bones.
And there is about 16 teaspoons of sugar, in each can of coke. Get the sugar bowl out and put 15 teaspoons of sugar in a glass. see how much that is, and imagine drinking it.
Hope this helps.
Water is the elixir of life! Pure water that is.
