I think you are the only one who can help yourself. It's really your own choice. I know for sure that you know the effects of taking excessive soda, if you dont, try to research on the net or read med books. Just to give you a hint. The info below was taken from the net (http://www.newstarget.com/004416.html).
"Soft drinks have long been suspected of leading to lower calcium levels and higher phosphate levels in the blood. When phosphate levels are high and calcium levels are low, calcium is pulled out of the bones. The phosphate content of soft drinks like Coca -Cola and Pepsi is very high, and they contain virtually no calcium."
So it's really your choice.

I guess if you think you're addicted then I am too. I have to have my soda. I don't drink it as much during the day though, I drink coffee instead. I think I am addicted to that too. As far as any suggestions to help your "addiction", I have none. The first step is admitting your an addict..LOL
