Hi Mrs. Eagle, Welcome.

"My name is Doc, and I'm a carboholic."

IMO—and I speak partly from personal experience/knowledge—because there is a strong possibility/likelihood that he is a sugar addict—in the literal sense. While there are slightly different definitions of "addiction" (depending upon the context in which they're being discussed/used) there are certain characteristics/behaviors they all share, among them:

• Inability to abstain or control behavior
• Craving
• Continued behavior despite knowingly doing harm

I think the first step in understanding is becoming informed/knowledgable.
