congrats on 28 days,
as for the drinking part of it, yeah, I found myself doing the same thing, I 'packed' like I was doing heavy drinking, vitamin water, seltzers and plain water, - that having a drink in your hands.
But if that what it takes, then keep it up. Eventually you will be able to 'moderate' non-alcoholic drinking. In time you won't even notice you don't drink as much.
