Well, I've made it through the night. Sleepless as predicted for 95% of it but surprisingly very little discomfort withdrawals-wise this time.

Lets see how Day 2 goes. 7:20am here, going to grab a coffee and make a plan for the day. I'll check in this evening with an update

When I got to about the 5 day mark my sleep was incredible. Keep at it and your sleep should be better than any drinking night by far

Quitting was so hard for me this last time. I still have PTSD from the mental issues I went through.

I would not survive another relapse without going even more crazy.

Eventually the crazy never goes away.

I have to be a big boy and enjoy other things. Booze is my kryptonite. My forbidden fruit.

Thanks.

Hope day 2 is going well for you

Don't sweat the sleep thing at all. I'm on Day 24 and haven't slept a good night through once. But that is absolutely just fine. In the middle of the night with very little sleep I am still thrilled to be clear headed and in the knowledge that in the morning I won't feel like death warmed over. I proved to myself that there are a thousand things worse than being a little sleep deprived. Welcome do Day 2. It gets better and better, and even when life hands you a few things to deal with, dealing with them sober is so much easier. When you have a headache, you don't drink bleach. So when we have something that challenges us, we shouldn't drink booze.

Day 2 and way to go...off on a journey.
Sleep too much not enough not the right kind naps
not drinking and nutrition...all things seek a balance I believe.
Keep it simple with HALT....Hungry?(eat) Angry?(talk about it) Lonely?(call someone) Tired?(sleep) Attending to these areas will eliminate the urges to drink.

Goodatcha for day two! Sleep problems self correct. My alcohol problems did not. That took work, but well worth it because I am worth it and so are you. Keep moving forward, the view gets better and better.
