Switching from a daily coffee to a caffeine tablet might help you, I made that switch almost 10 yrs ago

Every trip to the grocery store used to involve me grabbing Lil Debbie donut sticks or a frosted honey bun and a bottle of coke or a black and gold can of Rockstar. I just made the conscious decision to slow down on that stuff and gradually skip buying them. Rockstar being bought out by Pepsi and changing the formula for the OG can to some nasty shit definitely helped me with kicking that habit, but I moved on to Full Throttle and Amp. Really it's a matter of making a conscious decision to slow down on that shit and eventually you'll lose your sweet tooth. In the last 3 years I can count the number of times I've had sweet snacks on one hand. I've had one energy drink since August and that was only so I could drive a long distance without falling asleep.

I do drink black and green tea, and since I usually make a large tumbler of it I use 2 tea bags and two tablespoons (measured) of sugar. A few weeks ao I switched both to decaf so I still get their benefits without the caffeine, and in doing so I found that I no longer get sleepy during the day.

Make a conscious, gradual change in your habits and eventually you'll be wondering when was the last time you had any of that stuff.
 
It's crazy bc when I was going thru 1-2 packs of cigs a week I needed a smoke just to drive or sip coffee. My first attempts to quit I was miserable doing either of those trivial things without a cig after they had been associated with each other.

So driving, sipping coffee, going out drinking were triggers that I had to decouple from smoking. For me personally that process of decoupling is where I struggle especially with food bc it's so easy to abuse even if your problem isn't quantity.

The first time I got off sweet shit was after we first moved to Vegas and I started trying to get back in shape. I would walk past energy drinks, snack cakes, chips, and candy bars and my mouth would literally start to water. I'd just tell myself "Nope, I don't need that" a few times while checking out and I could make it through. Every now and then I'd cave in and cop something, but those incidents started to space out more and more, until eventually I realized it wasn't an issue anymore. It wasn't until we moved from that first house that I got back on energy drinks to stay awake during the move that it crept back up on me, and then when I finally got a decent paying job I started snacking again pretty much because everyone around me was doing it.

These days it's alcohol. I've limited my drinking and really only had a few tall cans since the end of January. Like with the other stuff, when I'm at the grocery store I'll walk past the alcohol aisle and be like "Nope, I don't need it" and keep on steppin'.

I wrote all of that to say: Try telling yourself you don't need it and see if it helps.
