Wow, I hope you are doing ok, kc. It sounds like you had a very frightening experience, all the more so considering it happened after only 2 glasses of wine.

I would strongly encourage you to think about how you will prevent this kind of thing from happening to you in the future, especially if you plan to keep drinking.

I'm only on day 18 of sobriety right now so I certainly don't have all the answers (or any answers, really), but as someone who rationalized myself right back into drinking last year after 8 months sober, I do know a thing or two about denial. It can be a crazy thing, the things our addictive voices will tell us in order to keep us using.

You might want to consider whether alcohol is truly the best treatment for your sleep disorder, or whether you might simply be using that as an excuse to rationalize your continued use of it.
