Chocolate was and remains the one thing that has served as a substitute for booze (other than program). I would wake up in the middle of the night and eat it, sometimes waking up in the morning to find chocolate in the bed. I never put on weight and stuck to dark chocolate (100% cocoa - very low sugar). Exercise every day too so fitter now than I was 20 years ago at 29.
I'm happy with this affair with Chocolate, it makes me happy and I have not drunk in over 4 years. I now moderate intake and besides even Bill W in the Big Book suggested it, so guess there's worse things.
