I was a bad drunk for over 20 years and have been sober 3-1/2 years now. Drugs have never been my thing, but I know I have a very addictive personality. I go through long periods of insomnia (weeks, sometimes months) and do not like sleeping pills. Has anyone tried CBD oil, or other non pill solutions for sleeping? Any suggestions would be much appreciated

Hey Frank! Good news - there is nothing addictive or mind altering about CBD oil (it doesn’t make you feel high since there is typically no THC in it).

Personally, I use CBD oil and take one to two melatonin gummies at night and I sleep like an absolute rock. I wake up feeling refreshed and relaxed each AM, typically not having woken up in the night. I’m not a doctor by any means so always make sure anything is safe for you, but this regimen has been incredibly helpful for me. Melatonin makes me incredibly tired within a an hour of taking the gummies. Hope this helps!

I’ve tried both. I think your safe trying them. I would start with melatonin first then if it doesn’t work move up to the cbd.

Been doing CBD oil for a week now, and it’s working good. Had to make sure it was actual CBD, not Amazon junk.
