I cut out soda/carbonated drinks a few years ago and decided upon vegetarianism. Those carbonated drinks are a fucking addiction, plain and simple. Yesterday, I had some Ginger Ale after refraining from carbonated drinks for two or three years. A cup here and there, what's the damage? I took my initial sip, and the carbon dioxide burnt the inside of my mouth, so I decided to refrain from drinking it. However, within thirty minutes a massive craving for the stuff had built up, and I had no choice but to drink some more to relieve it.
Gone? Fuck no, within twenty to thirty minutes it was back again. I chugged vegetable juice, I chugged milk, and ate some chocolate, but I remained unbelieveably fucking thirsty for the rest of the day, craving more Ginger Ale. Yeah.. That shit is an addiction. No wonder so many Americans are depressed and overweight.
Good luck with whatever you're doing. ;D
