When my mind would race like a speeding bullet and I felt so much anxiety and tension from bad things that have happend to me in the past including as a child having to experience 2 dysfunctional real parents and then 7 crazy step parents, I would drink a lot before trying to go to sleep. I thought that way I wouldn't just toss and turn for hours at a time with high stress and depression. Now sober only 20 days, I am not getting up at 4AM feeling hungover and sick and depressed any longer. I actually am sleeping like somewhat of a normal person. That has meant so much to me. Just another reason I want to stay clean and sober.
