Fell asleep for a little bit but then I woke up and now I can’t sleep. It’s day 4 and I don’t want to mess this up but it’s hard. I found out my cousins funeral is next Tuesday. Still dont know the details just that he passed away at home.

I’m sorry to hear you’re still having sleep trouble. Remember not to listen to / watch anything too engaging. A little sleep music or nature sounds etc would be fine. Your internal monologue that tells you a drink might help you sleep is just addiction trying to get back control. Ignore it, say a firm NO to it.
Has your new job allowed you time off for the funeral?

They let me have yesterday off as I heard thenews the night before and they’ll let me have the funeral off. I just gotta bring in a program basically as proof.

I’m hanging in there. Really tired. Haven’t slept since 2 in the morning. Once my son goes down for his nap then I’ll take a small one. Just to try to hold me over till bed time. Gotta try to sleep at night cause the cravings are worse then.
I think work went good today. I remembered stuff from Monday and we were faster and got more stuff done so it kind of makes up for being gone yesterday.

I’m glad you talked to your employer and they were understanding. Now for some proper sleep tonight (after a little nap now) friend.
