I think the best part of not being able to sleep when you're sober is that you don't feel nearly as bad as you did when you were drinking, you get all kinds of things done and you get to watch the sun come up and be thankful for all you have!

It's good, I have a pattern of covering real feelings with haha so I can seem satorical when I am serious but I still crack myself up. But believe me the things I read here, the things I feel are very real. I have a hard time crying but then I do but then I'll laugh because we are all passions. As I said 2 months again and not counting. This morning, not sleeping, still such a gift.

Great point tutie. I hated those nights when I passed out drunk only to wake at 3 or 4 feeling ill. Usually if there was more booze around I would finish it off and hope to pass out again. I am so thankful I don't have to live like that anymore.

If anyone is having trouble sleeping, here's a natural remedy I came across. Almond butter on whole wheat bread. Almonds contain Tryptophan which is the same stuff that makes you sleepy when you eat turkey, and whole wheat contains a chemical that causes the Trypto to be absorbed more quickly into your bloodstream. Top this off with sliced bananas which contain a natural muscle relaxant. A glass of warm milk on the side and you'll be in lala land in no time.

Facing laying in bed at night when I couldn't escape my thoughts is what got me into trouble. Alcohol was a bit of a 'sleeping pill' for me. Unfortunately, I'd pass out, and yes I'd sleep through the night, but I never felt rested. I'm lucky to get 5 hours of sleep sober, but I still feel more rested than I did when I passed out drunk for 10 hours.
