Used to be like that. My goal was just to start drinking more water... drinking soda just stopped gradually because of that. I have it like once a month now

Not sure how far your addiction spans, but it may be confined to certain settings (home, car, or work).
Carry a bottle of water with you and try to drink it outside of these settings. Try a cup at first and gradually move on to bottles. Eventually, you'll be able to drink water in those soda-specific settings. As for the soda, try to limit yourself to two cans a day until you can successfully drink water without the nausea and headaches.
You don't have to completely give up soda, but 3-6 cans a day is OD.

Besides gaining weight in the past couple of years (im 6-1 and weigh 190 compared to the 170 I weighed back in fall of 0 I dont wanna kick my health in the %%* and become diabetic. I tried to ween myself off the stuff and i still end up feeling like crap near the end of the day and have massive headaches and nausea sometimes. Im not sure if its the caffeine, the sugar, the carbonation or a combination all 3 that got me hooked. Online articles say I have to just try to limit my intake slowly but surely but, I still suffer from the headaches.
Anyone with any tips/advice you have maybe from your own personal experience now how you limited/stopped drinking soda? Any specific foods or different drinks or maybe even activities that worked for you?
Thanks
