My inner voice has always been too active for my own good. One of my many reasons for drinking was to find a little peace and quiet. With the help of these folks on SR and lots of recovery readings, my inner voice is becoming more positive, reassuring and calm.
The other thing that changed my life was adding exercise into my daily routine. It sounds simplistic, and I know it is hard to fit anything in to a busy day, but it wears me right out and promotes good feelings, and I am asleep within minutes of hitting my pillow most nights.
