Day 7 off hydros-proud and exhausted

[iwantmylifebacknow]

Hi my friends,
Well here I am at 430am wide awake. So relieved the physical detox off hydros is getting a bit easier, sleep not so much. Melatonin isn't doing the trick. Slept from 12am-4 waking up twice. Definitely having nightmares. I am assuming this is normal. I have to work today, thank god we are on summer hours! Praying I can get a nap in later today! Please let me know how you are all doing! The support on MH has been amazing! D and S, we survived 1 week! Sober and strong! SO PROUD! Sending my love to all!

Thank you so much! I am feeling so much better. Will start exercising today, hopefully that will give me a little more sleep. If not, I will still take it! When i have trouble sleeping, I log on here. You guys are all amazing people!

Hey, we woke up at the exact same time. I'm usually up at 6am but woke up at 4:30 this morning. You're heading into the home stretch. The sleep is the last thing to come together, and you know it will. Congratulations on one solid week!

Oops DAY 7 not day 5.  Didn't mean to deprive you of the well earned 2 days.  Yay a whole week!  Whoop whoop!  If it's any consolation I'm wide awake, in pain, and not seeing the sandman any time soon.  So it's a late night MH party!  Celebrate good sober times oh yeah!
Proud of y'all sleepless warriors

Hahaha, not one of the "lady" things......one of the "last" things.  Lol
Curse you "auto correct" (raises fist to sky, as I have know idea where to direct my wrath at auto correct)

Hey there and congrats on day 5!  Sleeplessness- yep NORMAL.  Man, you're lucky you got 4 hours.  I never slept more than 1 or 2 hours for about ten days.  You can totally survive and work on this much sleep.  No it is not pleasant but totally doable.  Just use that pride for being clean and the joy at being able to look forward to a whole new life full of possibility as your motivators.  You are on your way!!! Yay!!
Watch a good movie or read a book.  Sleep comes back eventually.  It is always the last thing to return.
Proud of you...

Woooo hooooooo!  That's awesome congrats ! You're sounding so positive...that's so uplifting to see.  Very proud you should be chicky...fluff it up and flaunt it.  How you're feeling is uber normal.  Melatonin only works if you are in complete darkness....not even you're cellphone light.  I would just exercise my @ss off to help with the sleep issue...sadly for most that's one of the lady things to get back to normal (hate that word).  Have a smooth day at work chicky.  Bless
