So far so good. July 4th was a big test for me and it was nice to go to bed sober that night instead of rationalizing things and drinking. Feel better with more energy but still have nights where I twitch myself awake. This usually happened to me after a weekend of binge drinking and while it's not as bad it still has me a little perturbed. Some nights I sleep like a rock and others I'm up half the night with whole body and hand/feet twitches. I have a history of anxiety so I'm sure that doesn't help things but has anyone had this happen before and how long did it typically last?

I also took up hobby and bought myself a guitar. It helps at night when I feel bored and would start drinking instead I practice guitar or read up about it, gotta keep my mind on something positive. Anyway, hope everyone is well and has a good weekend!

Nice work ts. Welcome to SR - we're so glad to have you here.

Great idea, the guitar. Keeping yourself distracted and fingers busy is very helpful.

I get anxiety too, doesnt help twitche and insomnia since I was 12 so it adds up, Im barely on day three, I was kinda peer pressured to drink on the 4th, ofcourse I was the one that agreed but I used it as an excuse, been sick in bed all days, we can do this, we have to, much love...
