Loving Sobriety/Hating Insomnia
Hello June friends,
My only major withdrawal since getting sober has been bad insomnia. I've been able to sleep, but the sleep comes around 6 am. I set my alarm for noon, so I don't sleep the entire day away and the cycle continues.
One day last week I drifted off into a wonderful slumber around 5 am and woke up to my dogs barking (they sound like they are having panic/heart attacks when there's a knock on the door). It was the air conditioning people! Agggghhhh. So I answered the door, big bags under my eyes, and was forced to wake up. But isn't there such a difference between tired-face and hungover-face?
Anyways, I have a job interview in 4 hours and I have not slept a wink. Something about me though is that I was exactly like this before I ever drank. Sleep never came easily and the anxiety high at night if I have something big the next day. Like today!
I will end this with my motto I've used while battling the sleep demons:
I feel better with little or no sleep not hungover than I do with lots of sleep and hungover
Wish me luck!
