Welcome Jess. I'm new too and this site has really helped. I just bumble around checking stuff out, adding my 2 bob's worth now and again and clocking onto the 24 hour commitment thread. Too early (3 weeks) for me to offer anything of much substance but one day I hope to be able. Currently all I can do is stay sober try not to give myself a hard time and hang 'round here. It's a start.

Thank you so much. AA so many times and have tried to work the steps but I have been unable to go very long without needing relief/release that I get with alcohol. It is crazy. I don't know how to be really alive without knowing I can drink at some point.

Thank you I need help maybe I need to go to treatment. I live alone and it is really hard to deal with the cravings at night. So hard to sleep without drinking I really want to learn to live another way to live

My insomnia only lasted about 7-8 nights. Many others here report similar results. It's a rough week with little sleep, but it can be done.

You can do this!
