I'm a little on the late bandwagon of welcoming you, but welcome to SR any ways.
I have heard it from many members that they tried to use alcohol or drugs to control or numb physical pain, but once they crossed that line it was of little use to them. You can live without alcohol and there are therapies to reduce pain. I hope you have been in contact with a doctor about your physical pain.
For me, it was emotional pain and numbing life in general. Once I became sober for awhile I had to find out how to deal with life. It isn't easy, but its a worthwhile journey for sure. I would say our journey of learning never ends.
I can't tell you how to move an icon because I AM a technical idiot for sure. Someone else will definitely be along to help you there.
