Hi InspiringBurden, Welcome!! As Dee said, addiction does not discriminate and I am so glad you are here and seeking help. Alcoholism is eventually such an isolating disease so this place is an amazing gift. I was also feeling so very alone in the final years of my drinking and afraid to share it with anyone because Washington, DC, despite being the capital, is one of the smallest towns in the world and we all know each other. Particularly those of us with public or semi-public careers, the thought of coming out is terrifying. This place was and continues to be an invaluable resource to me and I hope it is to you as well.

The journey towards sobriety is a complicated one but so, so worth it in the end. The sleeping will get easier. Read around here for other's tips and experiences. And when you get your first good night of sleep without alcohol in your system? Oh boy, wait for it. It is amazing.

Welcome again to this wonderful family, looking forward to getting to know you better!
