Chicago here but I’m sure you’ll find someone close by. Pretty big community here.

#3

Seems like a good place so far

#4

It is. Lot of supportive people. You should check out the Everything AA app too if you’re into it. They have Zoom meetings going 24/7.

#5

I think I will this is like the 3rd time I have heard about it .

Might have to hit a meeting now if I can’t sleep. Liquor stores are only open for another 23-24 minutes here.

Do you suffer from insomnia since you’ve quit?

#8

Not quite insomnia, but I do have a harder time falling asleep, and at first, I couldn't stay asleep for the life of me . I have had a few crazy wild dreams as well . Some to wear I woke up balling and I have NEVER done that !

Keep yourself occupied no matter what !

#10

Sorry to hear that. I can fall asleep most nights but I can only stay down for a couple of hours, then up for an hour, down for an hour and so on.

And yes, occupied is good. I read quite a bit to try to sleep.

When i can't sleep, i can't 1,000 as many times as need be, and if I can't remember how I got that high, I start over . A childish action that stood with me my whole life is rocking myself to sleep ( typically my whole body ). Just the action of movement usually soothes me, or I make circles on the sheet with my fingers. I have used meditation sounds a few times to help me sleep.

Count to *

I have a white noise machine that helps a little. Same with the meditation. Prayer too. Never tried rocking myself or tracing shapes on the sheets. Maybe I should try them.

#14

I can’t sleep either lol

#15

Let's all start a no sleep party . I am just now getting off of work.

#16

Let's do it. Welcome, Destiny. I hope you find this community as awesome and insightful as I do.
