@lanibanani79 great news that you have managed to inject. I think it is something we get used to.
As far as the finger pricks, there is no reason why it should be so painful if you get your "technique" right.
Have you adjusted the injection depth on the lancet? Do you use the side of your finger rather than the pad? Are your hands warm when you stab them? These are all things to consider to reduce any pain.
I know the Libre sounds fantastic. (and it is) but it will not stop all finger pricks so I encourage you to master the art of painless (or low pain) finger pricking.
I also encourage you to read the threads about the limitations of CGMs - as I mentioned it will not replace all finger pricks so it is important to understand when you can trust it.
