My first 6 months of recovery I had the same thing with the chocolate and the sweets. I would wake up in the middle of the night and start eating sugar. My doctor said it was normal because the alcohol has a lot of sugar in it, and all of a sudden that is gone. The ironic thing is that in my first 2 years of recovery I lost 40 pounds!!! However the last year I have started to gain some of that back but I don't ever get up in the night and eat anymore.

Keep up the good work.
