I have the urge to have cola every hour of the day. I need it once a day at least. How can I beat it?

Everything we do, we do for a reason. Find what needs are being met by the cola, and then look for alternatives that would work as well or better. The more you feed your habit, seeing it as normal, the harder it becomes to change that habit. That is the problem with allowing these habits to develop in the first place.

You can also ween yourself off the cola by reducing your use. Go from one a day to one every other day, then one every 3 days. By spreading it out, you'll be diluting the withdrawal symptoms you feel.

Another option is to disassociate your addiction from your normal life. When you feel the need for a cola, remove yourself from your normal routine, and others. Go outside with your daily bottle of cola. Do not sit down. Record the day and time on a sheet a paper you keep wrapped around the bottle. Open the bottle and sip only as much as you need to stop the withdrawal symptoms. Seal the bottle and return to your daily life. In time, you'll get tired of stopping your life to feed your addiction, and you'll lose interest in cola.

Well, start by replacing with diet cola (I'd highly suggest Coke-zero, as it is the superior beverage). But if you want to quit it, carry a water bottle with you everywhere, and sip from it continually- this will fight the urge to have cola as you'll be already full of water.

I used to drink a lot every day , one day out of sudden I decided to not drink it because I've satisfied and I already remember how it taste 😋 , since that I no longer crave for it.

Don't buy it. If you don't buy it you can't drink it.

Your body is craving the sugar content. Drink water instead and fight the urge. As the days pass, the urge will decrease and fade.
