This time, I'm finding that even going to bed at night I'm grateful...I don't go to bed thinking..."man, I wish I could have had so much to drink right now that I will sleep terribly and feel terrible tomorrow" or worse yet, going to bed and not even remembering...
I hear you! I would wake up several times a night needing to drink water, sometimes sweating profusely, often having vivid horrible dreams. When I first started trying to stop it was because I started going to bed and not remembering going there - often times fully clothed. Also, I realized that all the depression I was feeling was because of the alcohol! I know if I drink, I will be depressed and just slow the whole next day.
