I hear you Anxious. I have food intolerance: no gluten or dairy. Before I developed an alcohol problem I had issues with food and self-esteem. I was a binge eater mostly at night so having a bad belly has been the vein of my existence! Alcohol seemed to ease my symptoms (diarrhea every day...sorry gross!). Keeping things moving through the digestive tract is a main priority. My longest quit before this was 53 days and the reason I drank was because I couldn't go to the bathroom. Overall, eating junk makes me feel like junk.
But I'm re-developing my relationship with food. I'm trying to balance things out so I'm eating mostly veggies and stuff but I still have my treats in between. Planning what I'm going to eat is where a lot of my time goes now. Planning will also limit the amount of time you have to spend shopping.
Hope today is a good day for you
