Been on a self destructive binge of eating and binge drinking alcohol since my last breakdown in sept after quiting school again. That stops today, tonight. I've got to fix tons of other things in my life, get a job etc.. But at least I can start with this.

Good luck and stick with it.

Making the decision is the first step; now you have to pick the new habits you are going to do instead. Nature seems to abhor a vacuum, so please make a conscious decision about what you will be doing with your hands instead of binging on the bad stuff.
Have you considered knitting? It is very addicting, keeps your hands busy, you can relax and watch television while doing it, and you can make some nifty things...?
