My Mind swirls around in these early hours. Can't seem to ignore it. When working a lot I'm fine and happy. Can't figure it out. Input to shut my brain off

Cavelyn, you’re definitely not alone. I found that reading the big book of AA, meetings (online or in person), prayer, meditation and journaling really helps occupy my mind with healing.
I had to reprogram my crazy mind. Even after 17 years of sobriety I still do the above to maintain my peace.
I’m here if you want to talk or have any questions

Im impatient. I get what your saying. Feels like how bad do I want sobriety? It's always going to be hard. Like giving life to God and giving up everything

It’s actually the easier and softer way. It doesn’t have to be hard at all. Giving up only the things that make life harder.

Giving up one thing in order to have everything is one i have read....love this.

I suffer from this. I found reading an actual book put me out sometimes. Watching videos on YouTube of silly stuff helps me as well as videos of things to make.

Have you thought about therapy, maybe working through the reasons for using might help? Hugs!
