This is the first night I’m going to bed sober in months. . The crazy part is I climbed into bed and thought to myself, when was the last time I went to bed sober? And I can’t even remember. . . Got through my first day and it wasn’t easy, the next few days will not be easy but just taking one step, one minute, one hour, one day at a time. . Thank you all for your support, I have this weird lock on my profile that prevents me from replying to many times in a certain time frame so as soon as it unlocks again I will reply to those who reached out. Night everyone and may we all have sober dreams!

Don’t worry if you have trouble sleeping. It’s very common for the first night. I don’t know where you stand on spirituality but prayer and meditation help with sleep. If not melatonin is good as well. Drink a glass of water before bed in case you sweat that way you won’t get dehydrated.
Check back in with us tomorrow and let us know how you slept.

Good night. Tomorrow you will feel so happy to be hangover/ booze groggy free! Sweet dreams
How could I forget the bathtub? I used to get 3-5 hot showers or baths a night for like the first 30 days during my first two attempts at getting cleaned. Sometimes the only sleep I got was in the shower. My last detox wasn’t as rough bc my run was only a couple months and before I went in to rehab I had a couple multiday stretches of self-detoxing. But those first two times I don’t know what I would have done without hot showers.
I’m not sure how you did it jail either. You and Donnie are the detox king and queen. I would have been put in PC bc I would have tried to kill myself.
I remember the vicious cycle of feeling bad then using, then feeling guilty about using, which depressed me more, which made me use more, rinse and repeat. I believe they call that insanity.
