I'm just over nine months and never had the sweet tooth, really, however I have my other addictions, such as video games. In a sense I too have replaced my habits before. I also have an electronic cigarette, which is in almost constant use. I suppose the important part is my life is now manageable and I have the power of choice today, which I didn't have much of before.
I will say that for the first few months ice cream was almost a necessity. I took ice cream and put it in a blender with milk and random stuff and made milkshakes. For instance, rocky road and bananas make a really good shake
