I wonder if this compulsion to eat sweets and biscuits when they are put in front of me is the same as alcohol.
It's very common
I say don't worry about it. I binge on chocolate while sober. It's much better than drinking alcohol. It's suggested in another thread that you roll with it and enjoy the sweet things. Eventually the desire for sweet things will subside.
