A meditation practice may be really good for you at this time. A practice in which you sit in stillness with some particular focus and a great deal of introspective observation may help you sew the proper strands together in understanding your current feelings and situation. And good for you for resisting the desire to hit the bottle. While it's never been an issue for me (I simply don't drink because it's not interesting or enjoyable for me), it has been for some that I am close to, and by being a witness to their struggles am aware of the high degree of difficulty that can lie therein.
You seem to be getting a handle on things, but just know, if you need it, you have support here.

I Will give it a Try. Cant say i have much experience with it, but i guess its just about being quiet and accepting whatever comes to mind without engaging in it as in βoh tomorrow i have to do this and thatβ but just focus on whatever is inside or?

Thank you for saying so. Much apriciated.
Meditation is very broad. Pretty much every religious practice has their own version, even if using a different term.
It takes practice, so don't expect too much of yourself. We live in a world of almost constant stimulation, and as such, sitting quietly can cause the mind to generate it's own stimulus to fill the void usually filled by external stimuli.
For a mindfulness approach, create a space that you would like to be in (Ihave an altar and meditation mat and cushion). Before entering the space, make a conscious choice to leave all else outside of it; conversation you may have been having before, thoughts about what to do after, maybe an uncomfortable interpersonal interaction, etc. Enter the space. Once there and comfortable, try surrendering to stillness (easier said than done) and choose to be actively aware, observing yourself, how you feel in your body, what's going on in your mind, your breath, etc, withholding judgement throughout. A mantra can help to. One I typically use is "just be," or "be still." Try 5 to 10 minutes, refocusing gently when you notice you'reoff track. Always be patient when bringing yourself back toyour focus.
I will sometimes focus on focusing... it's a fun one.
That's a brief bit to get you going. I'm work, but can share more later if you like.

What if the "truth" is: the "truth" is indescernible/unknowable/nonexistent? Then the closest we get is through being true to and with ourselves.
