I use an app where I have to scan a barcode to turn the alarm off and the barcode is in the bathroom. I also use a lamp that has a gradual light that comes on which is supposed to help you wakeup and is separate from the sound alarm.

Good on ya!!! YOU made the choice to love yourself a bit more...
It will be somewhat difficult, but not really that long. Once you accept your new reality, then it's just maintaining,
The hardest part is not accepting the excuses you will tell yourself to try and justify taking "just one," drink. So long as you don't accept the excuses, you will be triumphant.
SO proud of you taking that first step. It's the hardest one, because you are taking responsibility for your choices. YAY YOU!!!

Another sober buddy here! You will thank yourself for this later down the line. The NA/AA programs can be a great start for most people. There are also agnostic steps and recovery programs for all flavors. You’re not alone and never will be! Find what works for you and stick to it. Digging yourself out of the hole addiction puts you in can be challenging but SO worth it

Being smart and overthinking are two different things still. We tend to overthink when anxious or heavily stressed for example. You can be smart and still overthink a situation, doesn’t mean you’re dumb either.

Find someone you can talk to about it, ideally someone else who has gotten sober. Talk to them regularly. Then find other people who are working to stay sober, and talk to them. Ask them what they did to get sober, and do it. Addiction turns us into isolated liars, and the antidote is to regularly connecting with others and telling them your truth. You will not be judged.
Be open to saying yes to anything that will help. It may feel uncomfortable at first, but think of the great lengths you would go to to get your fix and commit to put that same level of effort toward sobriety.
You’re not alone, and you’ll be amazed at how much better your life becomes.
Google the 9th step promises. Read them, they are true.

We are not always 'enough'. Sometimes self improvement is the key
