    Wean yourself off them. It'll take a few weeks to not crave something anymore. 

    During this time, have a cup of soda water with a splash of the sugary drink you're craving in it instead. Put the rest in the fridge to use over the next few days. You can start with a higher concentrate if thats too hard and then keep watering it down, but if its giving you stomach aches I think its time to be super strict. 

    If not, you can try going cold turkey but from experience that makes me crave it even more.

    If you tough it out for 2 to 3 weeks, the addiction dies out and you will not have cravings anymore. The fact thtat sugary drinks are giving you stomach aches is a powerful motivator .. remind yourself of this anytime you feel the desire to drink a sugary drink.
