I feel healthy and semi-strong to win tonight’s fight to finish reading and drift to sleep sober for the first day in years. Except it’s not the temptation to grab a drink that’s ruminating in my head it’s the anxiety to stop the noise in my head to want to keep drinking, not looking forward to a night of terrible sweaty sleep. I want to be proud in the morning and my mind is fighting against me.

How do you get your last name from being seen does anyone know?
Stay strong! You can do this! I signed up with just my first name. There might be a way to edit, not sure.
For last name, go to menu, community profile, edit profile. You can do this. Youre so much stronger than you can even imagine. Just take it one day at a time. As someone who constantly struggles with wanting to shut up my mind, therapy helps, distractions help. Join groups, try different things, see what works best for you. Most of all, be patient and kind with yourself.
Dax-Dear alcohol music is helping me hope it helps you
Erin - in case someone hasnt told you, you may have a sleepless night or two... Now a phrase i cant believe im repeating, but i found it to be true.
This too, shall pass.
I went to 4+ meetings a day my first week.. just to quiet the voices you are speaking of.
I’ve tried many meditation apps not even for sobriety but for calmness so I’m happy to learn of others out there.
Thanks everyone for the love
