    Haha....I actuallt had this same problem but with Nutella....

    I was putting that stuff on everything grain and even eating right out of the Jar.....I mean copious spoonfuls of the stuff (so ashamed). I would go through one big jar a week...

    Oh man, nutella is my achilles heel. Can't buy it anymore!

    I totally agree with cutting back or cutting out sugar is the best way to beat the sugar craving.
    Honey is a good substitute, but of course needs to be restricted as well. I'm not sure what honey tastes like in coffee, but just a little in hot tea is satisfying. It still has calories so has to be counted.

    Try Truvia, it's very sweet, more than sugar and it's not filled with chemicals! That what I use in my morning cup-o-joe! :happy:

    I worked my way down from 1 tablespoon to 1 teaspoon over the course of a couple of months. Don't do it too quickly. But your taste buds will definitely adjust. You may also try brewing your coffee less strong to help you adjust.

    I don't like any of the artificial sweeteners - some of them give my husband raging headaches, so cutting down the real stuff seemed the best option for us.

    Good luck!
