Thoughts on three lunch meat sandwiches/day on white bread?

I prefer wheat bread, but that's me.

@TiberiusBravo87 This reads as being mostly good developments for you. Your family probably got into the habit of giving kids tonic water back when it had more quinine back in the 1800's, as it's considered an anti-malarial.

My three things to ditch were Alcohol, Junk Food and Cigarettes. My progress so far:

I've ditched cigarettes for disposable e-cigs. I'm using these to taper off nicotine. I'm cigarette free for a couple of weeks now.

Junk food, I have started at the gym so I've managed to use that as a catalyst for improving my eating. I'm tracking calories on My Fitness Pal, have removed crisps, sweets and made healthier adjustments. I've used my income saved from the other vices to buy protein powder, protein bars/cookies for snacks. I'm eating more greens, drinking more water. My current goal is to lose weight. I haven't reduced from my BMR too much, as I'm seeing how it goes with the weight lifting. I'm currently 200 under my BMR, so sitting at 1800 calories a day.

Alcohol, I've stopped completely. I did have a slip up around Christmas and New Year. I got back on the wagon, replacing it with water, sometimes calorie free fizzy juice, BCAA drinks. The initial first few days were terrible and I was working. Nausea, irritability, perhaps a minor form of Delerium Tremens. Now, I feel I have more energy and everyday I feel better.

I'm going to continue to be accountable. My health is important. I want to live a healthy, long life.

It's good to read that you're making improvements. Keep it up, I know you'll achieve your goal.
