I always used alcohol to quiet my mind, to obliterate all that overthinking. I am hoping I can find a good alternative. There is a meditation class I might try.
Meditation is great for that. I have never been so at peace as when I've practiced it. If you like I have a link to a site that is really useful for those learning meditation. While it's a buddhist site, the meditations are completely non-sectarian and teach either quieting the mind or compassion.
my sponsor meditates twice a day and she swears by it. I am trying to be disciplind to do it once a day. I did attend a class at a budhist centre and it was the ONLY time i have ever had drug free quiet mind (until i stopped pratising). seriously i could put my head on the pillow and my mind was not going a millions miles t was great.i speak a lot how should do it but i dont do the action. self destructive maybe. I just have to keep trying and it will happen!
