In my experience, caffeine addiction and "other stuff in diet cola" addiction are two separate things.

It might not be possible to kick both at once, but I feel like my life is better since switching mostly to coffee.

Good luck!

I think black coffee gives me the caffeine I need to get through the day without most of the harmful effects of Coke, diet or otherwise.

Green tea, lemon juice, bit of salt, chilled gets me that hit. Not diet coke, specifically just sodas in general.

Bill Gates drinks it every day it can't possibly be bad for you. At least that's what I tell myself.

If I could afford the kind of healthcare Bill Gates can, I could poison myself every day without worry.

Just drink plain water, we've been doing that for millions of years.
