Welcome to the forum! Drinking helped me get to sleep, but in the end, it disrupted it and of course created all kind of other problems. Like Hevyn said, alcohol is about the worse solution (for any problem) we can choose.
I've addressed my insomnia with my psychiatrist and am now taking something that is non-addictive. I know it's hard to give up our crutch, but if you read the posts around here, so many of us are grateful we did.:ghug3
