Awesome list, and brought me back to before AA and before I surrendered my life and will over to the care of God. When I couldn't sleep without getting drunk, when I couldn't shut my mind off, and when I was fully enveloped in my alcoholic insanity. I am grateful that I now fall asleep within minutes of my head hitting the pillow every night, and sleeping soundly throughout the night! :pray:t2::sleeping:

Thank you for saying that! I am so happy that you’re sober and living life! Sleep is such an important factor in the recovery process and I hope to improve that over time with baby steps. I’m glad I could sleep more than just 4 hours last night!!

It took me working the steps, and finally dumping the wreckage of my past in steps 4 and 5 before exclaiming to my sponsor, "O...M...G!! SLEEP!!" :rofl::rofl::rofl:This was after going to a TON of meetings and finally getting to work on the steps after 6 months of sobriety. I just couldn't turn my brain off. One of the MANY gifts of sobriety!

Oh BTW, I would highly recommend removing your last name from here. I had someone send me a friend invite on Facebook, and our only interaction was through comments here. It definitely gave me the creeps, but maybe that's just me. I was concerned enough to remove my last name, and simply use my last initial instead. I hope that you don't have that same experience.

I really appreciate the heads up! I definitely edited my name after hearing that because that’s not what I’m on here for! You’re a good dude! Thanks man :slight_smile:

There you go, and that's definitely why i told you my experience with using my last name. I try to be a good man every day while attempting to help as many people as possible on a daily basis. One of the MANY gifts of sobriety!
