Sleepless nights suck. I swear I couldn’t sleep all night. When I was still drinking I would have popped a top on something and drank till I “slept.” Now I don’t know what to do.
Hi Aaron! Have you tried melatonin? It’s a natural sleep remedy that you can get at most stores. It works wonders for me when I am having a hard time sleeping.

Reduce your naps to 20 minutes. No more than 1 a day.
It will get better. Your mind and your body need to heal from all the drinking damage that has been done over the years. Do not pick up no matter what and go to meetings.  I found that working out as often as possible to help sleep at night. I’m celebrating 10 years sober. You can do it just don’t give up and take a deep breath and know that you’re doing this to get better one day at a time.
