I would say to try gum, when I quit I did get a headache for about a 2-3 days and then it quit. It's not a real chemical dependency like drugs and or even nicotine but it is an addiction. Gum has helped me quit for a few weeks, but then I go back again. Maybe even just try drinking something in place of it, like a diet soda, to ramp down. Then move to green tea, and finally maybe a glass of water. I think you are used to the constant having something in your hand, something sweet to drink at different points of the day as well.

I usually have fights with myself while in the grocery store. Constantly thinking about whether or not to get one. Or if I can avoid it. Hell, did it this morning at Hen House even. Told myself nah, just to get an orange juice or something instead. Then I saw the wall of energy drinks in the cooler....
Talked myself into a sugar free one at least.
