One week today. Eventually I don't want to count days, weeks, years, I just want to "be," if that makes any sense.

Sleep is the hard thing. Or is it just the night, when everything gets still and quiet and it's just me and my mind?

Not much to say. I'm going to post periodically as a form of accountability. If I disappear, I started drinking again. I don't want that.

And to all of you in the early stages, be strong!

Yup. Makes a lot of sense to me.
Good work.

They say sleep patterns will normalize in time. I hope to see you posting. I don’t want you to disappear knowing what that means. Stick with it.

Congrats on a week! That's a great start. On sleep, my experience was that sleep was hard at first but eventually became one of the many benefits of sobriety. It takes time, but once your body adjusts, you will sleep better than you ever did with booze in your system. Dreams will be vivid, sleep will be restful. Best of all, you will awaken to a world where you know that you did great the day before and prepared to conquer another day of sober living. Keep going!

You will enjoy better sleep soon and better mornings. Great work!

A week is mostly, if not all, done with the physical symptoms of withdrawal. Your sleep should get better with more sober time. Exercise is very good to help with sleep. I try to walk my dog at least once or twice a day and it helps me feel a lot better. Just getting outside and getting my heart going a bit is good for me.
