congrats I am right there with you day three for me and I have been eating all kinds of junk too. fast food, drinking soda...things i would never normally do. I usually eat healthy in spite of drinking like a fish lol.

trying to keep my mmind in the present moment has worked really well for me. instead of 'should i go drink, maybe just one and thats it tonight, if i just drink one it's better than twelve all night'
It's 'I'm not going to drink for the next hour and that's that' then when that hour is up, if I haven't distracted myself with something else and no longer am wanting a drink, I repeat ' I'm not going to have a drink for another hour and that's all that matters'

I have a lot to learn but it seems to help so far. it keeps the 'panic' factor down because it's. a solid plan and there aren't. hundreds of options for what i can do the rest of the night/week/month/lifetime running thru my head, driving me insane, making me want a drink even more.
