Within the last couple of years or so my caffeine intake has literally gone through the roof where I drink it simply out of habit. i.e. If it is there, I drink it. Fair to say I am addicted to it. I don't even know much about it, just a double double sort of fella. Lately, and what has stimulated this desire to quit is that I have found myself drinking more and more coke. Whereby I was a very rare pop drinker now it is a stable resident in my fridge. On top of maybe a pot of coffee I now have 3-4 cans of pop a day. Where I used to have milk/water with meals I now HAVE to have a can of coke.
I honestly can't say I've noticed any side effects (that I am aware of
) but having said that I'm aware that I drink way too much of it and it's something I want to eliminate totally from my daily life.
So, I'm basically looking for advice from any experts in the field or anyone that has done anything similar. I'm going to go cold turkey to just get er done. Any recommendations for substitutions (I'm just thinking water) and are the withdrawal effects as bad as they say?

Thanks.
