i also had an addiction to ice cream after quitting alcohol..the kind of addiction where, while am eating my first bowl, i am planning to go get another one. now, three+ years sober, i have switched addictions to chocolate. if you ever want to quit...or cut down considerably, the ONLY thing that worked for me (and it was through this forum and good advice from everyone here) is simple but really really hard...don't keep it in the house. it worked for me but i still indulge, i just cant have the family-size bag of chocolate in the house...best wishes!!
