i'm having trouble staying on track

Experiment in a forward moving path. Figure out what works for you.
I quit drinking 20+ years ago. Either I was really getting good at it or I was totally regressing.
I got blistered drunk. A deer ran out in front my wife's new car and I couldn't get out to check on the things. Basically, I said, "Let it roll" and I didn't hear anything, so we drove home. When we got home her door would not open and she had to crawl over me to get out. Later that night my son got really sick and had to go to the hospital with a fever. I was still drunk in the car.
I have never felt lower. I stopped cold turkey that next morning. Never wanted another drop.
When I switched to carnivore, I went cold turkey and didn't have any of the sugar cravings others have experienced (just lucky, I guess). Since I have not drank in a lot of years I have had none of those cravings. I can't really speak to those with experience.
My only advice would be try to plug something healthier into those cravings. If you can skip one, and then in time skip two, they should get further and further apart, until you no longer have that load to carry.
Best of luck. Not much help.

that's very interesting. it doesn't look like i can do carnivore indefinitely. i just keep reaching for sugar and alcohol. although i did recently procure some magic mushrooms. if i can successfully microdose that, then i might not need to reach for sugar and booze in the evenings. my goal is just to feel good. not great but good enough that i don't need beer to forget about all of my problems. we will see i guess.

There is a guy at our gym who is what he calls part-time carnivore-part-time keto and sometimes whatever he wants.
He uses carnivore like a tool much the same as a hammer or a wrench. He will go three or four months on a strict carnivore diet and reap those benefits and from there he eases into a keto-type diet by reintroducing certain things to his diet. From there he morphs into some bad eating habits.
When the bad eating habits come back around and he adds a few pounds he switches back to a strict carnivore diet. He has done this for the last few years.
I can see where it would work for a lot of people.
We laughed because we both agreed that we can dig a hole with a hammer but there are better tools out there.
He is the first person I met that purposely starts and stops carnivore with a reason in mind.

2MAD is my preferred pattern.
If possible, I like to wait several hours after waking up to eat, and then I will have eggs and a breakfast meat. About 7 hours later the wife and I will have dinner and this is quite commonly 1 lb or more of beef, although I also enjoy chicken, fish, seafood, etc here and there because I have a need for some variety.
If I end up having meal #1 early, then mid-day I will likely have some pork rinds or beef jerky as a hold-me-over.
I think these 2 statements are related. The fruit isn't to blame for the food coma, but the sweet addictiveness of fructose makes it easier to crave the addictiveness of alcohol. The bad news is that the body will bounce out of ketosis (fat burning) to prioritize metabolizing the alcohol first, followed by the fructose, and you will struggle to become firmly fat adapted.
I would recommend pure carnivore for a set period of time (like 90 days or so). Then at a later time if you want to reintroduce an occasional fruit or rare sip of alcohol, that's your prerogative. At that time you may have gotten mastery over it and will be less inclined to cave into having it all the time.
