Need help with my deadly, crippling sugar addiction

If you don't stop, you will die sooner. Is that help enough for you?

Not really, same as a drug addict, you can't stop.

EDIT: @marbro beat me to it.

There are some supplements that can help with the cravings but you need to do your part as well

Hey guys
I need some help with my addiction to sugar, Especially sweets. I swear its worse than crack! but just below heroin.

Any tips? I know its a coping mechanism of sorts, But how does one go about replacing sugar for something else?

^ Me too a few years back. Chomped sweets all day at work plus 2 spoon teas, coffees.

Eventually had trouble getting to sleep at night no matter how tired & sluggish I felt. Then Google put paid to my sugar obsession with a plethora of epic horror stories about ' How to trash your body & mind with sugar'.
Plus my clothes were shrinking.

A friend said to have a go at quitting sugar in tea / coffee, and cutting down junk & sweets, so I tried that. Took a few weeks to get used to, but it did get easier over time. I still wanted the sugar high but regular proper healthy food really eased the craving.

Good luck !
It's apparently a very real addiction . Some interesting stuff here :

In June 2014 Time Magazine’s cover bore the sensual picture of butter, claiming we’re “Ending the War on Fat” because it turns out that there is an everyday substance in the American diet that is much more perilous to our waistlines and minds.
