2 days no coke, why no sleep?

[coconuts27]

Ok, its been 48 hours now since I've had any cocaine. Even before that, the last few days I've had very little. I really expected to be sleeping like a baby, but I'm not. Last night was horrible. I fell asleep twice and had crazy dreams. I felt like I was awake the whole time, and woke up an hour later. Whats up with that?

glad to hear you are stopping, i think you have realized now the destruction this drug causes and this is a wake up call. im glad to see you posting and i know you can do this. as for the dreams, they are scary and will probably happen a lot for the first few weeks and extreme sweats at night too. i imagine you should be able to sleep soon, but your brain will be hating you for awhile depriving it of this disgusting drug, but before long you will feel great, just don't forget what you need to do when the cravings come, because they will and you need to fight. wish you the best of luck, stay strong.

Good for you coconut thats the attitude that will get your kids back. Sleep will return and congratulations on throwing away your box and letting go of your enablers I also cant wait for this to be behind you. I'm pulling for you...

Thanks. I hope mom gets her head straight soon cuz I'm really mad at her. She keeps tryin to put me down, sayin things like I'm not ready to change and I cant do it on my own. She's comparing my 3 months on coke to her 20 years on crack. I feel like I'm a lot stronger than she is, and I know I can do this. It's only been three months. It should be a walk in the park compared to what she went thru. I'm done with that stuff. Threw away my "box" and told my enablers that I'm done. I'm gonna try to sleep again, but if I cant I'll be back. Thanks for the support and about my kids, I'll get outta this mess and it will all be like a bad dream.

crazy dreams are your brains way of tryin to drive ya back to addiction. lack of sleep could be due to the fact that as a daily user your body is used to bein totally wore out from bein high to get sleep. dont worry, stay off the blow and normal sleep will return. proud of ya on the 2 day mark, you can do this!! btw- forgot to tell ya how sorry i am to hear boutcha kids, but when mom gets her head strait , all the rest will follow :)   keep fightin girl, you got this... much love
