My friend says she's a chocaholic and is addicted to it - can you get addicted, or is it just an excuse for lack of willpower?

I think there are several addictive chemicals in chocolate.

I have to work hard to not eat it constantly.

I have a friend who can ignore all sorts of sweets and cakes, but binges on chocolate.

Sometimes i find myself thinking about it all day long....(chocolate that is!)

I could do without crisps and cakes and donuts and all kind of stuff, but not chocolate!

no its true. i can and have eaten a whole tin of quality street before now...the small ones dont worry! even when i was a stick insect i did. yum yum. enjoyed every mouthfull xx

i on the other hand can do with out my choc, but not my crisps and cakes

thats where i struggle
