Sleep will come, I will pass on what my couselor in detox told me and it worked for me and basically what Charmie said.
Devote as much time to recovery as you did to drinking!
Well I did not draw a sober breath the last 5 years I drank so I went to at least a meeting a day, I called others in recovery, and I read a lot of recovery books!
The last 5 years I drank I did 3 things:
I worked.
I was either drinking or buying booze.
I slept.
What did I do the first 6 months?
I worked.
I was either at a meeting, reading recovery literature or talking to some one else in recovery.
I slept.
