Hi Flyers
Welcome aboard the good ship SR

Congratulations on your five days sober

Sleep will come, sleeplessness and disturbed sleep are things that a lot of newly sober people go experience
When you get into the a natural sober sleep pattern it will be the best sleep you have ever had. The even better bit is waking up refreshed and guilt free
Hang on in there - you are doing so well - be proud of yourself
Keep posting and reading
Best wishes to you

Welcome Flyers!

Congrats on your 5 days! Those first days can seem long (and strange), but hang in there. Things really will get better..... your sleep will come back (better than it ever was while drinking), your head will clear, and you'll feel more positive as you go.

Glad you joined up - it's really hard to do this on our own, and the support here is great!

Hey, flyers, congratulations on your decision to get sober. Sleep for me now is sound and restful, and no more snoring either. Blood pressure has dropped too. You can stay sober, too, flyers, we are here to support you. Keep posting, OK?

Whenever I would detox, I literally would be awake for 3 or 4 days. Amazing how alcohol withdrawal can do that to our brains...so unnatural.

Welcome to SR, flyers. Insomnia has been one of my greatest challenges since I stopped drinking. Honestly, I suffered with insomnia long before I drank. Even so, I am happy to report that it gets better!

Stay with us here and keep sharing. I've made a lot of friends here and I know that you will too.
