Although you sound a bit like a troll, here goes. I've woken up with bruises in weird places and had no recollection of what happened. I've texted things I shouldn't have. I've found things in strange places in my house - last one was a pillow in my bathroom. And I've had complete blackouts.
Sleep is one of the main issues I had/have to deal with... I couldn't/can't sleep either. Tossing and turning in a puddle of sweat and the mind not shutting down is awful but it gets better eventually. Try to think of it as being sober-curious... even if you are functional and fulfill your obligations, it's amazing how many other things you usually neglect can be done. I'm not at all on a high horse here, I allow myself to drink but less often. I have zero control when it comes to how much I drink so the only option for me is not to drink.
I'm not a fan of AA for several reasons but the "just for today" approach is quite helpful.
I really need help with my drinking?
