Morning of day 8 and I finally slept!
 

Like a lot of us newbies I've been having difficulty sleeping since my last drink 8 days ago. I've been dealing with twitches, sweats, heart racing, anxiety and just plain wakefulness. But last night I slept! Out around 10:30, very minor sweating and slept solidly until about 6am. I'm not confident that it's always going to be like that now but I sure am greatful for last night! :)

A good night's sleep makes all the difference!!!

Congratulations on Day 8, MissOverIt.

Great job on Day 8!! Keep pushing through!! :scoregood

Thank you! I woke up and literally said, What the hell happened?! I was so happy and refreshed. Pushing through the 7 hard nights was more than worth it.

Congrats MissOverit on 8 days

Glad you got some rest & your feeling refreshed

Well done

Congratulations on 8 days--fantastic!

Ah, the sweet sleep of sobriety: I can't get enough of that. So great to wake up refreshed!

Great to hear. Hopefully you are over the worst of it. Even after the first week i felt very raw for a good while- but it just keeps getting better

You go, girl!!!!! :c011:

Glad you slept well, Miss :)

It is all worth it, that's for sure.

Wow - congratulations! I am only on Day 2 , but can't wait for that feeling.

Great to hear you got some sleep!!! Congrats on 8 days!

The first 8-10 days were awful for me. I think I posted a desperate plea here on SR during that time.

Congrats on Day 8 - it will just keep getting better and better.

WHoo, great to hear! Thanks for the support all.

Sleep is a beautiful thing. Good stuff!:c011:

I am one day behind you ... 7 today for me. One full week! I echo your complaint about the insomnia and exhaustion ... I am like reversed, tired all day and then awake at night. It's getting better but it's still been a struggle. Just trying to stay focused and riding out the storm ... I think the first month is likely the most challenging as the body resets. Exciting though! Hang in there and hopefully sweet dreams.

LOL I said the same thing my first restful night. When you drift off and wake up to morning. Such a strange yet amazing feeling after going through so many restless nights.
