I’ve realised that I’m a little too fond of fizzy drinks. It’s not a severe addiction to the point of downing gallons, but I am drinking a 330ml can of Pepsi Max almost every day. Sometimes a little more.

Depends on the reason and what you find most motivating. Addiction is tricky and it’s rarely just one thing. Caffeine is physically addictive but there’s also a psych aspect to it.
If it’s about the caffeine, try switching to coffee or tea. If you want to go cold turkey, caffeine withdrawal peaks at about three days with symptoms lessening to minimal after about nine.
If it’s a convenience thing, try keeping a water bottle on you and just drink that. If you find water too boring, try it carbonated or with a twist of lemon or other fruit. Or don’t keep it in the house; it’s a lot easier to not put it on the shopping list than resist the temptation when it’s right there. You could also focus on the money aspect. Give yourself a goal to save up for purely with what you save on soda.
