IMHO it sounds as if you are trying to sooth something inside yourself. Alcohol or food seems to make you feel better for the moment.
There is no quick fix that is long lasting. Getting sober and living life sober is a journey. It takes time and commitment. The point is to look inside, find the things about us or the resentments we hold on to that we are trying to escape from.
I am on my journey. I go to AA. I have a sponsor and I am working the 12 steps so I can rid myself of the resentments I have and come to terms with them.
