Default If you were raised on sugar, then is it impossible to lose it completely?

Greetings

I was raised on heavily on cheese and refined sugar (I take after my mother, I have a sweet tooth).

However, no matter how much I try to go without sugar, I can't do it.

I mean, theoretically, I can sit still, but I can't get any productive work done -- I can't concentrate on math or writing without some form of sugar.

I've tried substitutes like fruit (enormous amounts of fruit), bread, peanut butter, cold water, and mild sugar like cereals...but I'm still left wanting.

I finally gave in and had Reeses peanut butter cups (I love these), and was finally able to concentrate.

My question is, is it possible that I was raised on so much sugar that my body now requires it, as a smoker's requires nicotene? Is it possible to ever be rid of my sugar cravings, entirely?

If anyone with similar experience can speak, please do so!

Thanks in advance
