I started alternating between coke and water. Now on 2 glasses of water for each glass of coke. Hoping to get that down to 1 glass a day, then nothing, but it still seems I'm far off :)

I'm stuck on two cans a day, with bad days going up to 4 cans. I do drink loads of water in between.

Ahh stuck. I can understand that. I'm having trouble picturing skipping that first glass in the morning, as it clears the awful sleep-taste out of my mouth, something which water cannot seem to do. Probably just a mental thing (I hope).

I'll assume you brush your teeth at night, that helps a lot. If you also brush your teeth first thing in the morning, the taste will be gone. A mouthwash might also do the trick if you don't want to brush immediately.

Or eat a fruit or something.

Indeed, coke comes between waking up and brushing teeth, I wake up slowly so this will need some training on my part. Good advice, thanks!
