Well am day 6 1st 3 days were bad i was going through withdrawals i was sweating bullets for no reason i couldnt sleep i felt so tired & weak & i wasnt working. but little by i stood sober didnt turn into alcohol especially on December 24 when it was a 7th year anniversary that one of my close friends was killed. Almost onto day 7 only thing now is that i still cant sleep well now but the problem now is that i been having nightmares cant sleep past 3 hours cuz of the nightmares any help with nitemares 
I take non-habit forming (over the counter) sleeping pills. Congrats on the 6 days!
I had nightmares myself. But I felt I needed the nightmares. It was like they were messages to me about all the things I had been avoiding because of my drinking. But none of them were too frightening, just upsetting. Maybe you aren’t wanting to experience your nightmares.
You can take natural sleep aids like melatonin and valerian root. As for the nightmares, you may want to read a book before you sleep- the things you think about before sleep can influence your dreams.
I knew a person who would recite “I am awesome/amazing” until she felt positive and fell asleep. See if any of that helps!
