Sugar addiction

Hi there, I have been going to the gym 2-3x/week (minimum) for the past few months. I lift like a madman and try to match my diet with my weight loss goals but I have a problem: I am addicted to sugar. I could eat salads all day and ruin everything with a beautiful, delicious cookie (think crumbl cookies 🤤) and as such, my progress is very slow. I have tried cutting sugar but I go into a sugar craving mode after a few days and go feral on some cake or other magnificent sweets..It is so demotivating to put in all that work and barely see any results.. people with a similar problem, how did you overcome this? What can I do to stop the cravings?
