NS i need to really think about that. but i think it comes down to the fact that i do/dont want to stop. the al voice takes over my head and i end up believing that its ok, for one night. it convinces me that i miss it. and i do, to a point. all reason goes out the window.

Maybe if you could explain the circumstances that occur when you choose to give it up, the group-think around here could help you adjust your plan --- especially if it is the same kind of situation each time.

Glad you are here and posting. :lYup. I've got my thinking cap on :thumbs:

You are doing ok Roxy !:l
Every sober day is a step closer.

You are just taking a longer route to the same destination - like I did !

Nighty night, Dreamy:l...........I'll have no trouble sleeping..............the dreams might be a bit weird but I tend to sleep too much when I'm stressed or upset. Sort of a safety valve.............not sure if its a good or a bad thing escaping into dream world but it seems to work.

In my previous insomniac life - no such thing as too much sleep - chased it endlessly.
In my sober world- I LOVE my sleep -even the fly catching after dinner......

Sleep heals the body -- we know that - it also heals the entire person including emotions ....
'cos when you sleep you have no negative emotions to drag you down into depression - it's only when we wake we start the worry worm stuff.
So your body JC is telling you now to sleep and not to worry.:l
so grab it while you can....

it is not my pleasure to mention in the same post that i got to 13 days but didnt manage 14. such little numbers but felt enormous. have tried numerous ways of dealing with this and obviously the last way hasnt worked. will have to think of yet another way.
Hey Roxy:l You will get there m'dear, so long as you don't give up trying. There's no doubt that it's not easy and bloody head-melting at times but it can be done and you will do it. I lost count of all my attempted quits prior to this which will hopefully be my last one. We just gotta find our own way through it. Each time a quit fails we can learn something and turn it round to being a positive. 13-14 days are not little numbers really- 2 whole weeks when ye think of it. Try not beat yerself up xx

Sleep will do you wonders Jacks- even if dream-filled:l
