..Well i dunno wot its to do with..but this is gonna be the 3rd night where im not gonna sleep properly..i ain't got any major concerns thats keeping me up in thought..since i woke up on saturday morning (after a good nights sleep) i've slept for 9 hours ish total since ?..and that sleep has been spread over 3 days in the daytime..im not looking to take anything for it (no pills or liquid meds)..i just want my sleep to return to normal without the need to take something to aid my sleep..does anyone still get the insomnia attack after being off gear for so long (im 16 mths in recovery so far)..this is the first time since then that i aint slept for a 3rd day..i know im not gonna fall asleep tonight,i can feel it..but im not gonna start freaking out about it..im just gonna ride it out and hopefully my sleep pattern will return to normal..i just wanted to get this out to see if any long term peeps in recovery still get these nights ?.. Oh well wot will be will be i suppose..sleep well one and all..Robbie..
Hey, Robbie Burns.....just like old times. Sorry you're not sleeping well. It drives me outa my mind when I can't sleep. You know what they say, drink some warm milk, read a book, watch some tele...just give in to the sleeplessness rather than fight it. Hope you and charlie are doing great. Not much new on this end. Brittany's still doing great; therefore, I'm feeling great too. Can't even think of a joke for you tonight. If one comes to mind, I'll check back in. Remember, you're not supposed to lie in your bed if you can't sleep...makes it worse. I'm sure you'll be snoozing normally again soon. luv cors
..Ello Corrine..

You're reading my mind, robbie. Soon as I said brittany's doing well; therefore, I am...I thought "oh, lord, someone's gonna tell me my life shouldn't depend on that of the addict" to which I thought, "It's just the way it goes when you're a parent." So it's good to know I'm not alone. s***, I'm starting to sound like the one that needs sleep and it's only 8:00 here. I went to a couple Blue October concerts this month....great!!!!! Brittany came too. It's so odd that once upon a time I was crying over the words this band sings (because of my daughter's addiction) and now I'm hanging over the rail rockin out with my daughter...because of the words this band sings. So milk doesn't work for you. I'll think of something.... In the meantime, keep chattin on here. Good to chat with you, Robbie. cors
Robbie,
Fear not bro.....you are not alone! Every so often those nights come for me were sleep feels like a chore or a battle(lol)! It does not hit as it did in the beginning but time you will see will make a difference. Hope all is well with you and the fam!

PS....after chatting with Corrinne....you should be flat out tired by now(2FF)!

..ahhh soz peeps..i was aving a bath and watched a movie afterwards..thxs for the chat..sleep well both of ya's..Robbie..
With you there Robbie...im a bit of an insomniac really....but when i came off the gear last Summer...i also had a major benzo habit...it was scary the amount of tablets i was doin and my tolerrance went sky high..not good for the liver or kidneys.So i weaned off them...but as you all have said it always comes back at ya..sleeplessness.I try to keep reletively fit..and my diet has changed a lot...these things help....but because im an addict it would be so easy to reach for the valium,royphnol..etc...im clean off smack and hope to continue...but its gonna be a long..up too 2yrs..tough road to get my sleep pattern to anything regular....all because of the damage i did to myself by goin mad on downers.You certainly pay for your overindulgance..sometime down the road.
Take care...count sheep..what a load of cobblers.......Davey
