I needed this video. Thanks now I know that my not sleeping is a withdrawal symptom. This insomnia is another Hugh factor not to start drinking again. Thank you will hang on.👍🏻

After looking for and watching several videos about my specific situation, this by far was the most on point and informative. Thank you. Well done video and I genuinely feel your channel should have a much bigger audience with such good content! Keep up the good work

I started drinking at 16 for fun. By 17 it was to go to sleep and by 18 I was a full blown alcoholic.

Been to hospitals, detox, therapy, on meds, in jail, everything. Nothing works. I am 37 now and still drink.

Knowing full well it would take over a year for me to BEGIN to return to normal is beyond demotivating that I simply just keep drinking.

It will kill me one day and I am okay with that. I have chosen a life without a partner and I hate all children and have none. I chose to live alone and I will die alone.

I stopped drinking and immediately slept better with good dreams

Quitting drinking ABSOLUTELY gives you better long term sleep benefits.

Trying to quit after ten years of drinking. Trying to fall asleep sucks, and the random waking up at two and three is even more defeating.. I just hope this doesn't last that long.i want to be sober.

Hello Lady! It was great watching you and listening to you. Love u for the excellent effort you made to do this video.

I would like to share few things you might consider and making an extension of this video.

I wasn't a daily drinker. But 2-3 times a week averaging 10 times a month. And I used to have at least 3 doubles of whisky or rum or vodka or gin. Before stopping, I was mainly on whisky. But, you know what, all those months I used to meditate avging 35-40mins a day. I still drink but not in the control of alcohol. Now, it's like I have a single shot once in 4-5 months. And that to diluted and consumed in couple of hours, sometimes I don't even finish that.

In my case, it took me 17-18 days to regulate my sleep pattern. And that was probably because of meditation, healthy and timely diet.

I stopped drinking once I realized the connection between alcohol and bad sleep. Bad sleep results in anxiety and that is the worst feeling of all.

[rahhclipper]

[formless]

[MR-qzzj]

Almost a full week, can’t sleep but I haven’t felt sleepy too much during the day, hope I don’t crash, I just want to be healthy 🥺

I took 5 mg of ambien for three weeks. It helped in two ways - first it put me to sleep and second I knew if I took an ambien I couldn't have alcohol. I took it for three weeks and then stopped it. I sleep like a baby.

[somanmankar]

When I'm sober i have peaceful sleep if I drink alcohol i don't have sleep what is the reason behind it
