I've not really been doing as much of this as I should. I've done fine with the caffeine and can now go a 2 or 3 days at a time without tea, tea cravings or other physical side effects. I've also done pretty well with the alcohol - I've let myself have a couple more drinks occasionally but I've broken myself of the habit of having a glass of wine with dinner most nights which is definitely progress. I think the problem is that I haven't been very focused on it.
On the other hand, maybe I'm being too hard on myself. I've made a big change to my eating/drinking habits in just a few weeks. I just have to decide what to do next. Cut down on wheat? Tricky for lunches, but otherwise a possibility as the books I've read suggest that I've got an excess of this at the moment. Cut down on dairy? Thinking about this, I'm actually partly doing this unconsciously as a lot of the milk I had was in tea. I do have cheese relatively regularly but haven't particularly recently. Does mayonnaise contain dairy? I kind of assume so but who knows? Well, anyone who reads the jar I suppose so I'll do that tonight and see.
I have a sudden urge to make sheppards pie - which, being full of lentils and potato is probably excellent for me.
