I couldn't take it any longer...

I’ve had a headache since 4 p.m. yesterday and have literally tried everything to get rid of it. I finally gave in and had a soda and my headache is gone, so apparently it’s from caffeine withdrawals (I am trying to quit soda since Dec. 1 and besides some Sprite the other night, this is the only soda I’ve had…). Ugh!

Ahhh that's funny.  Glad your headache is gone though.  I gave up diet coke a while ago... it's so hard, but totally worth it!!

Hahah I know!!! It's awful... but I guess it's expected to need one here and there to wean off, right??? (Just saying that so I don't feel like a failure!! Haha)

When I was quitting coffee I had the same caffeine headache problem (I decided when realizing that in a single day at the office I went through 14 XL Tim Hortons coffee that it was time to stop). Its a natural reaction, and wheening off should help

Your definitely not a failure! Its very hard to do. I'm just happy my addiction is soda and not alcohol or cigarettes!

14.....OMG!!!

That happens to me too when I give up soda and it is so hard not to cave because you feel so crappy!  Great job with how long you lasted and even if you just cut back your soda as much as you have that will be amazing!
