Welcome to the forums Paul. I too am struggling with giving up my vices as well. My new meds recommend limited caffeine intake (there goes my coffee) and as far as my cigarettes....well.....

I have managed to reduce my intake of caffeine, switched to caffeine-free sodas (Orange Slice rocks!) and cut back on the coffee to only 7-8 cups as opposed to my pot and a half I was drinking a month ago.

As far as quitting smoking, this will be my 6th attempt. Cold turkey didn't work for me, so instead, I'm setting a "quit date" - a date to be totally free of that ball-and-chain. I did have a quit date set for earlier this year, but my BP had other plans. So, when I'm ready, I'll pick another quit date, and slowly start to wean myself off of them, hopefully for good this time.

Congrats on the replacing your Coke for water! And good luck!
