Davester,
Sugar can definitely be addictive, IMO. Maybe not in the same way as caffeine or nicotine but I know people who can't stop eating sweets. They have to really give it their all to avoid them.
I should point out that in addition to lots of seltzer, I do drink coffee. I use half and half and a stevia based sweetener in it - either Truvia or a organic version sold at BJ's Wholesale that seems identical to Truvia.
I'm not a fan of the other sugar substitutes like Splenda (aka sucralose) and Equal (aspartame). They just don't taste right to me. Of the others, I can cope with Splenda. Truvia and the stuff from BJ's Wholesale has a very clean taste with no blechy aftertaste when used in reasonable amounts.
