"I guess sugar is my last addictive substance & I've been kinda stalling on
quitting cold turkey, wierdly hanging on to the media lies that icecream or
chocolate give me a "hug" type experience."

I know it's hard, but as long as you eat sugar it will set off cravings for
more sugar. I even have to be careful with fruit. When you're ready you will
stop, until then do your best and don't beat yourself up. :)
