I'm looking for advice from the 50+ community on how to wean myself from soda. Surely some of you have done it, right? I'd like to hear from those who've been sodaholics for many years but finally figured out how to "just say no."

I have cases of Fresca (I buy it on sale) in my home, all three flavors. These are sugar free, but I'm sure the artificial sugar ain't particularly good for me, either.

When I'm out and about, I'll drink Coke -- not diet, but the real, high-test stuff.

I'd like to eliminate soda from my diet. I've tried switching to water, or water with lemon, and that works for a while, but I'm afraid that forty years of soda consumption (especially as we weren't allowed to have it as a child in my family) have me hooked.

So -- what have you done? Switched to juice? Quit soda cold turkey? Gone to ice tea? What's the number for Soda Anonymous -- and how does one get a sponsor?
