I understand your situation as we sound very similar. I have to say that I can walk up and down the drinks aisle in a supermarket and not cave in to temptation. And I think I can or could do the same with sweet things. I just want to know if I need to take radical steps or just take some adjustments without going the whole hog.I had (have a sweet tooth) and find it very hard simply going cold Turkey and stopping just like that.
Here I am, surrounded by colleagues eating cakes brought in to celebrate a birthday. I'm eating a salad whilst craving a cup cake, and so it goes. This is a weekly test of my resolve now.
I have sweetener in my tea but I now only drink two cups a day when it used to be five or six although, admittedly, all with sweetener in them.
Now I have to get my fix through a few berries (not even my beloved grapes) and one or two sugar free Werthers every now and again.
Am I happy about it ?. No because its simply made me more depressed than usual and right now, because of how down I am I just want to eat sugar, but I struggle on.
I empathise with anyone attempting to lose the sweet tooth.
