I didn't read all of the replies... I didn't read most of them, so sorry if anyone else mentioned this already.
Sugar cravings are caused by candida. I had that constantly for much of my life, and although it is hard to break away from it, after a reasonable amount of time you will crave no more.
Eating even one thing with sugar in it, even natural sugar like oranges, will get you to start craving chocolate and other sugary things once again.
Candida is this naturally occuring stuff in your body, that grows rapidly when exposed to sugar or alcohol, thus causing problems because it grows into your cells, mutates or whatever, causes a beer gut for some people(leaky gut syndrome or whatever). Basically it depletes the body of vitamin B, and causes other problems, including increasing anxiety.
You feel better and more relaxed when you cave in and feed it what it wants, but only for a short time, then you are basically back as usual.
Try to remove sugar from you home entirely, since otherwise you will binge on it.
