Default Sugar Addiction

Hi everyone... Does anyone have any tips on how to quit eating sugar? Obviously I want to continue eating it in fruits and vegetables, but I'm a HUGE sugar addict.... I crave ice cream and cookies when I'm hungry. I eat a dessert food at least once every single day. I'm also vegetarian and want to go vegan, but my biggest obstacle is desserts. In addition to not wanting to consume animal products, I also don't want the negative effects and excess calories of sugar. This isn't a weight issue, its more about my lower energy after sugar consumption. I give new meaning to "food coma." Plus, once I start I can't stop. Has anyone successfully cut sugar out of their diet completely? I've taken a few stabs at this over the years with zero success for more than 24 hours. I'd love to hear the tactics of others. Thanks everyone.
