Tanja I often say to myself, "You should be much happier than you are" too. I'm happy for you for continuing to drive though! I really do need to make a gratitude list. I have so much to be grateful for. I am pretty much living the life I wanted to live when I decided to quit drinking. I feel like I have to just stop myself from sliding into my default emotion of discontent just because nothing is going on. I love how you said non-alcoholics probably feel the way from time to time, but they just don't drink over it! Haha, so true!
Jeni, just like we often fooled ourselves into thinking we didn't have a drinking problem just because we had a job, or didn't drink in the morning, or <insert some excuse here>, it is understandable why you would fool yourself into thinking you didn't have an insomnia problem just because you're okay during the day. I hope this doctor can help and if not, can send you some sort of specialist. Best wishes for some sleep.
