I find out that I get a bad headache if I try to go a day without coke. I drink it all day long. It is the first thing I drink in the morning, and my last drink at night.

find a way to stop at that coke addiction fast. that is a very bad thing to have. i had a freind in high school who had to undergo an operation because her bile could no longer cope with her intake of this coke thing. her bile gave up on her. if the parents were a little late to bring her to the hospital right away, it could have cost her her life. i was addicted to coke before, too. what i did was take a warm drink everytime i feel my throat parched and dried up. good luck in this. may you be able to put that addiction to a stop very soon. i used mild to counter my cravings for coke then. just innovate. hot chocolate drinks will do good, too.

i am very sorry for the error, that second to the last sentence should have read: i used milk to counter my cravings for coke then.

that is still a bad thing to have. the doctor once advised me to drink non cola sodas if i really find it so hard to cope without softdrinks.

Yes, anything with caffine can become addictive if abused too much. I had the same problem with Dr Pepper for several years, I would start my morning by drinking one and then consume 6-8 thoughout the day. I started drinking iced tea at lunch and thoughout the day and found myself with a headache in the evenings, so I had to SLOWLY ween myself from the Dr Pepper. I still drink the stuff, but not near as often, ( maybe 3-5 times a week )and still find if I drink 2 or more in a day,( of any soda with caffine) the next day if I have none, I will feel a lil pressure in my head.

Thanks, I think I will try switching to tea slowly. I get a headache if I go all day without a coke. Do coffee drinkers get additive to?

could you go into details about your friend please. I am not a happy person if I go to long without some soda. I prefer coke, but if I need some soda, I will drink whatever I can get ahold of...that does sound like an addiction, doesn't it.

I think that's already an addiction. Try to drink something new and make it a habit. If it doesn't stop you from drinking coke still, I think you must consult a doctor.
