Hi everyone,

I'm Day 26 I think now and have been going really well. Even had a sober birthday. However tonight I am antsy and totally unable to sleep. It's 2.54 am and I have tossed and turned and read books and eaten food and still can't seem to chill out.

I don't feel like drinking at all but don't know why all of a sudden this anxiety and sleeplessness have hit this far in. I guess I've had it pretty good so far. Maybe this has just come as a reminder that I cannot be too complacent and that there will always be times when I have "off" days

Anyway, I'm actually feeling more relaxed now tapping away on the computer and getting my feelings out.

I have been to the library to get "the chimp paradox" as I noted that a lot of you have read it and I might get a lot out of it too.

Thanks for listening I'm feeling better now already.

Hi leb; try taking a warm/hot bath to see if that helps you get back to sleep.

SW mentioned "The chimp Paradox" yesterday; it's on my list, too.

Congrats on 26 sober days!!!!

I hope these symptoms pass quickly and that you feel better.

SoberWolf has encouraged many of us to read the Chimp Paradox.

Hi Leb awesome job on day 26

Glad your feeling better now putting it on the page do you keep a personal journal that really helped me

The chimp paradox is an exellent book

I found out the guy who wrote the book spent 10 years of his early career helping alcoholics

Its a good book lol
