She was drinking about 6 cans a day (I know it sounds like a lot but I was drinking WAY MORE than that a day LOL). It took her about 2 months to finally give it up. But to be honest, I think she suffered more than I did. My problems were over after a week but not hers.

So basically if you are drinking 5 cans a day, then here's how you would do it:

Week 1 - 5 cans a day
Week 2 - 4 cans a day
Week 3 - 3 cans a day
Week 4 - 2 cans a day
Week 5 - 1 can a day
Week 6 - NO MORE DIET COKE lol

I couldn't do this method. I was just way too addicted LOL Cold turkey was really the only option for me but everyone is different. Maybe this way would work for you.
I drink wayyy more than 6 cans a day. Truthfully, I've never counted because I don't want to know...and I've been doing this for YEARS!! If I just cut down a little at a time, I would be too old to lift a can to my mouth before I could totally quit, LOL!! I guess it's cold turkey for me Could you tell me more about how much BETTER you feel?
