You can get the book through Amazon or B&N. I was skeptical, but I am on my 9th day smoke-free and doing fine. If you want to quit smoking, I highly recommend Allen Carr’s Easy Way.

The caffeine must give it that "taste." Part of the reason I'm eliminating it altogether is because I really don't drink enough water. I should be. Plus, my son was drinking too much pop because Mommy and Daddy were drinking it. My husband is not quitting pop, but he is reducing it to one a day. Molly's Brother - I'm glad to say that my headache is gone right now and I haven't had any tylenol in a while. I'm almost there! Freedumb - thanks :) Lisa – there is actually a caffeine-free Dew, but it tastes a lot different.

I know. But you'll get through it in just a few days. Good idea, too, to wait until the current withdrawls stop before you decide to quit smoking (which, by the way, is a wonderful step). You know we're here to support you! Good luck, my friend. The headaches are tough. I know. But you’ll get through it in just a few days.

For me, I went from Coke to caffeine-free Coke and found it was more the taste of Coke I was more addicted to rather than the caffeine (although caffeine withdrawl does cause those headaches). So, I was still getting the flavor I liked without the caffeine. Not such a double whammy. In addition, I learned that by going all the way to water, I dropped like 7 pounds in a week. ;) Perhaps smaller steps will help, but I don't think there is a caffeine-free Dew - after all, what would be the point? :) OK, I know this flies in the face of what you are attempting to accomplish financially, but one suggestion on helping kick the caffeine is to switch to non-caffeinated soda.
