I know that too well. I either open the bar, in which case it is completely destroyed, or I leave it closed. Once it's open, there's no end to it until it's completely gone. It's the same for me with 5 Snickers bars, 10 milk slices etc. Either completely or not at all.

I do like chocolate, including Milka, but I could never eat a whole bar in one sitting. By that I mean the small bar. I would certainly need over a week for a large one if I actually had an appetite for it every day. Luckily, I'm not tempted at all. The last time I ate chocolate was maybe 4 months ago, but that was chocolate crossies. So I wouldn't have any problems if a big bar like that suddenly appeared in front of me. I would probably give it away or put it in the cupboard and forget about it. But I can understand if you can't get past such things. Maybe you'll manage to organize them for yourself
I used to be able to do that. Deal with sweets. At some point that changed quietly. There are even days when I realize in the afternoon, oops, I have nothing sweet for tonight, that I go out again (even to the gas station if nothing else is open) and buy something. At the gas station I usually buy 3-4 Big Corny cereal bars Salted Caramel... It's a sugar addiction, I'll admit that to myself. But how to get away from it? Simply not buying sweets. But that's sooo easy to say. As I said, I don't take anything with me to the store in the afternoon, but in the evening I get it into my head and jet off to the gas station again... Sooo sick somehow.
Luckily I work physically and am not inclined to be fat, so it doesn't really set in. Which of course doesn't make it any healthier. A doctor can't help me. I have to manage it myself. It sounds ridiculous, but such a loss of control (even if slight) is serious. I worry about it every day and yet I already know what's going to happen again tonight...

I've never heard that it can be like an addiction. I imagine it would be unpleasant too. Maybe it would be a start to have the stuff at home to calm down, but to start not touching it. Day by day. And break the cycle that way. But I imagine you've already tried that.

Yes, it is very unpleasant. Unfortunately, having it at home but not answering it is not an option. On the contrary.
If I knew what it would give me, i.e. what the added value is, I could start there. Like someone who drinks because they want to forget. But this added value doesn't exist with sugar. Or at least I haven't yet found out why I need it.
The only option, as with all addictions: Don't buy/consume the substance until the brain stops putting it on the agenda and then maintain and extend that distance. It doesn't work any other way. Badly real and somehow weak. But unfortunately that's my reality.

And it's safe to say it's the sugar?
So if you were to eat any substitute product with sweetener, it wouldn't satisfy your addiction?

The trick is to just stick it out at the beginning. In the beginning I was also hungry for BK/McD and counted down the days until "cheat day". In the meantime, I don't need a "cheat day" any more. It will soon be 2 weeks and I don't miss the cheat day at all. I'm even going to skip it in December (because of Christmas and co.). The funny thing is that I haven't eaten a burger from them for 3 months and I don't miss them at the moment. I can say the same about cola and I always had cola in my household as a child.
If you ask me, it really depends on your motivation. I really didn't care at all. Obesity and the like are often associated with depression. It was no different for me. But since the end of August it has "clicked". Something like a "survival mode" was switched on, which made me immediately give up products high in sugar and fat. This gives me the strength to keep going. I had an estimated 4 Coke and 5 Spirte/Fanta bottles. I dumped them all down the drain. I also completely threw away all sweets, sugar and other foods.
As an Italian, I was also used to eating ham from an early age. But it's so full of fat... Take a look at how much fat prosciutto crudo has. I now only eat turkey. In the whole 3 months I've only made myself an Italian panino once - that's when I bought the Italian ham, otherwise no more.
By the way, I had rice with spinach. Later I had salad and 1 wholemeal roll with turkey

No, I think it's actually the sugar. There is no chocolate with aspartame etc. instead of sugar as far as I know?
I switched to cocoa for a while and gave myself a liter of Chocomel in the evening. However, it got on my hips very quickly, so I gave it up again...
