Day 16, not feeling too bad sleep still was restless

Day 16, not feeling too bad sleep still was restless but I think I’m gonna be okay, each hour, each day I can feel that I’m healing, evenings and nights are the hardest, dealing with my lost family from 2021 is still hard, it’s like I’m grieving them all over again :’(

I’m sorry you are struggling but you should be proud of your 16 days. Evenings are hard, especially alone, try to find an evening meeting. It took a long time for my sleep to get back to normal, so long it was causing problems. I did get a little help from my doc for a short time and it helped. Be honest with your doctor about what you are doing and I bet they are supportive and can offer some advice. But most of all try meetings.

Big hug to you ! Congrats on 16 days ! Give yourself lots of grace too!! The emotions coming back are rough but in return you’ll also receive Joy that you haven’t felt in a long time either.. a little further down the road !!

Congrats on 16 days! Woohoo :partying_face:
Keep up the good work. One thing I did for my sleep was exercise, lots of hiking on the weekends. Eating healthy as well helped.
You got this. Remember there is no easier softer way. Just take it minute by minute or hour by hour. Soon this will all be a thing of the past.

Congrats on 16 days! That's great....be proud of yourself, you are grieving a loss, and staying sober. Find a meeting, or several meetings, to make a new group of friends, especially during those hard evening hours.
