I know that restlessness and anxiety well. I have spent many nights staring at the ceiling or pacing about my apartment. It's hard to distinguish between real things to worry about and obsessive worry about invented problems the mind can come up with after a drinking binge. Although sober, I still struggle with insomnia and anxiety.

I guess if we stay sober long enough the clouds will lift. I drank away a decade of my life. I suppose it won't be magical right away again. The brain is healing itself as long as we stop poisoning it, we should improve
