I think anything caffeine free is fine.  However you might to train and cut back on the soda and start drinking more water.  There are also some caffeine free teas that might help with anxiety.

Lots of luck....

There are a lot of soft drinks that don't have caffeine in them.  You can keep our favorite soda as long as it is caffeine free.  I myself like Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi and I buy the caffeine-free kind.  Tastes just as good to me.  Sprite, Ginger Ale, and Fanta don't have caffeine in them.  But if you are unsure, just look at the label.
