It's great that you succeeded. Congrats!
For anyone else with a sugar addiction, some extra tips:
Do you consume alcohol? I read that cravings for alcohol and sugar can be intertwined, so if you drink alcohol at all, it can heighten your sugar cravings. The same goes for any white flour products. I believe I read this in one of Dr. Robert Young's books.
Also, if you eat the same foods you previously associated with or consumed with sugar, you may trigger the sugar cravings because your body expects it. For example, if you normally drink coffee with sugar, you may crave sugar when drinking unsweetened coffee. So it may help to consume only foods you'd never consume with sugar, at least while you're breaking the addiction.
