Good for you @kalinart! It's a long battle, but starting is better than just giving in!
I found that using the Crystal Light energy drink packets helps me a lot. One of those in a bottle of water in the morning gives me that little bit of caffeine I need to avoid those caffeine withdrawal headaches.
I keep those at work. At home I still allow myself a diet mountain dew on the weekends. But those are going to have to go soon too.
I need to look up these mints. Hadn't heard of them before.
Thanks for sharing!!
