Well Done, One week is Awesome!

The Sleep thing does take time, But it will improve! So thats very good.
Your body will adjust and you will be able to form a routine that will help too.

Thanks, I'm staying up late watching seasons of Breaking Bad. Which I think reinforces the whole staying sober thing. Haha

Wow you sound exactly like me! I'm one week sober today as well and I stay up until 3 or so every night watching netflix. I finished the whole season of Breaking Bad as well! Here's a few others to keep you busy :)

-House of Cards (the new version with Kevin Spacey)
-White Collar
-Breakout Kings

I've finished all 4 seasons in the last month. :headbange

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll watch one of those next.

Think of it like this...

Our bodies and minds are screaming out for recovery and pleading with us never to put them through what we have done ever again!

They work out together that the time difference between the UK and the US means that if they keep us awake then there will always be someone on SR to ensure we can chat and help each other through it and not abuse them again!!

Crafty bodies!..only when they decide we can be trusted will they let us have a decent sleep!!!

;-)

Enjoy Netflix !

Cuz I decided Im too cute to go back to jail! :e100:
