My husband is a recovering alcoholic. He was mostly a binge type.
Never during the day, never drove when drinking, never missed work. But it was a huge problem in its own right. We came to an intervention type crisis...and I had him hauled to a hospital, and that scared the dickens out of him.
Well, he is sober now over 10 yrs, and for a while it was double chocolate ice cream EVERY night. I managed to get him off that 2 yrs ago...but he still buys Hershey bars by the case at Costco, and 6pks of Special Dark, and snacks on the Hershey's Dark with Almonds, nuggets. For him, chocolate really helps. I watch him and remind him of "moderation" but I can't really nag him over it.
But that sweet thing I think is connected to the alcohol gene. Both his parents were severe alcoholics too.
