So would this be considered a "dry drunk" but with food?
Yeah, I guess that sort of works. It becomes an obsession, which isn't cool, for me at least. I don't feel that way about alcohol, thanks to my recovery, and I don't want to feel that way about food either. So I need to apply recovery principles to food.
