scared to sleep
Hi everyone. Does anyone else have this problem and any thoughts on how to deal with it?
I have a doctors appointment early morning and could do with some sleep. Im either not tired probably due to the anxiety or when I do fall asleep wake up with a sweat, racing heart and basically feeling scared to fall asleep.
For background. I have had three relapses over the past three months having been sober since May. My longest stint since then was 10 months two years ago. this relapse started on Thursday the week before last and I have been tapering since Friday having spoke to my doctor over the phone. When I was drinking I got up to 6 bottles of wine and I am tapering from 4 over a four day period. I had just over a bottle today and tomorrow will be last day of my tapering. Grateful for any advice.
