The first night I spent in my own flat, all alone was amazing. I expected to sleep the clock around because I had organised the move, and had survived on 4 hours or less, of sleep at night for that last 2 months. Could not sleep a wink, and looked awful next morning.

Of course this was because I was living with cleanliness, order, peace and no mumbling drunk sitting on the porch drinking, or lurching thru to get another jug of wine. No abuse or fear of any for the first time in ages. My body and mind clocks had been programmed to expect each evening, what had been done each evening, and were still in that mode.

It took me nearly a week before I collapsed finally and really slept - for 17 hours. That was a blessing, but it took a fair bit longer before I was re-programmed to my new life and the peace it brought.

Give yourself the best care you can, try all you can to relax and appreciate the new you, and lifestyle you now have.

God bless
