Fruit can be a problem for me too. It's not a trigger food or as you rightly described it (alcoholic food), it upsets my stomach.
I had an array of addictions very similar to your list, food is the hardest for sure.
I think I started with food simply because as a kid it was easily available to me. It was the solution to how frightened and insecure I felt growing up in an alcoholic home. Numbed the fear down.
Screaming, critical mum and drunk dad. Sweet stuff quietened it down a bit.
