Sugar 'feels' good. It releases dopamine....a chemical a lot of addicts struggle to release in early abstinence. Substance replacement. But its a lot better than drinking so if it helps in the early days, enjoy!
Whenever I had cravings early on, I indulged myself with ice cream for the first few months and it worked very well.
Eventually I was able to cut back and didn't feel the need for it beyond very occasionally.

This is very common in early recovery. The cravings will subside after 3-6 months. Don’t worry too much about any weight gains, as the weight will come off again.
Initially I gained 5 pounds, but I lost it all again and then some.

Too much choclate or sugar may be contributing to your other problem.
