Ug...I can tell you it will get easier, a whole lot easier, but probably not any time soon. It took me about a year before I shook the "need" for a drink. I counteracted that feeling with soda (the brain thinks it likes the carbonation) and smoking (I don't advise this by the way). I quit the cigarettes a few years later and still enjoy the odd cigar.

It's a psychological game to me. I had to trick my brain into thinking it liked other stuff.

I have since quit drinking soda (pop for the northerners) and that was super easy.

Don't touch my coffee though....
