Just coz an idea is in your head you don't have to set it free into the world I found rather than trying to not think about drink , i found it better to try and not think about cats ( pick your own subject to try not think about).

My body is'nt interested in how many hours i thought i should sleep , i just try to give it the freedom to do so .

hope you stay sober , It takes what it takes to get through .

4 weeks

Bestwishes, m

August, you're doing great.

If you expect a tough day, make a plan and don't allow yourself to sit and think about drinking.

Not sure about that; but I am sober and hanging in there so far .. Still not tired though which I think is strange .. 5 hours 2 days + working 8 hour shifts both nights :p The mind is a wondrous monstrosity at times ...

Woohoo! Well done on 4 weeks, AW!

To get a decent night's sleep, try reading a book, taking a bath or doing anything else unrelated to going online/watching TV for an hour before bedtime.

Or try tiring yourself out with exercise if you feel up to it.

TY Guys .. Yea Louise; been trying ALL that lol I just have too many superballs bouncing in my head right now I guess :p But starting listening to an old group from my home town and these lyrics struck as "ironic" that I heard them NOW as low as I feel ..

"Well I was talking to a mirror image of what supposedly was to be me
And the eyes and the nose and the insignificant clothes supported the testimony

He said you're doing fine you know
You've got an okay mind you know
And I would hate to see you throw it away
You'd better hold on!"
