Interesting way of finding the site. 
I thought giving up soda was going to be the worst thing ever for me...I 

drank 2-3 cans of coke a day, and a bottle of root beer every-other 
day. I pretty much have forgotten about the constant pop thing. I 
occasionally crave a coke, or a root beer, but on those days I either 
give in, and end up not drinking the whole thing, or say "you've got x 

more days until Saturday" when I usually allow myself one. It's not 

THAT bad is what I'm getting at...At least for me.
I too don't like coffee or tea, I drink water, lots of it, then milk for 

dinner. I used to do the water bottle thing, but I realized I was 
creating a lot of extra garbage, and spending a lot of money I didn't 
need to on them. I bought a water filter (I really like water when it's 

filtered) and a bottle that's got a twist on cap that's connected to the 

bottle. I fill it up every morning, it lasts me half the day, then I 
fill it up for lunch at a fountain at work. I'm drinking two liters a 
day, I dont' know how much you're supposed to drink, but I'm sure I'm 
above that..And it's great. Milk I take the money I'm saving on food, 
and have Oberweis delivered to me (for those of you who don't have that 

offered to you, it's a higher quality milk, and I can really taste the 

difference when I step back down to a generic milk). 
As for tips for not doing the grab and run, I'm still trying to figure 

some of that out...I tend to work 60+ hours a week, and do much grabbing 

and running. Though, I do have the benefit of being as single as they 
come. :)
Anyway, welcome and good luck!
