I relate to what you share.
What helped me was cutting out my trigger foods, so in my case refined sugar, processed foods, sweeteners (basically everything that messes with brain chemistry). Once I detoxed from them which took about 5 days, all the cravings went.
Same as my alcohol quit, I had to abstain completely or having some would create cravings and off the vicious cycle would go.
It was like trying to moderate alcohol. It does not work for me. Same with sugar.
Like alcohol these foods give a brief buzz and feel good of tasting nice in the mouth, as you mention, but longer term they are exhausting.
