Hi anovapartofme
Welcome to SR.
I'm another one who used booze 'to sleep'....I sleep far better now than I ever used to when drinking
Please do see your doctor - I was terrified too but it's the responsible thing to do - it's a good first step - and try not to worry - our bodies are resilient and they renew in many ways - I'd drunk hard for 20 years and I was surprised to get the all clear from my GP a few months after I stopped.
