SLEEP

DOES ANYONE HAVE TO TAKE A SLEEPING PILL TO GO TO SLEEP.??? . I DO.

I did for about my first month sober. This might sound nutty, but the BEST suggestion I can give you is for you to learn to meditate.  I have some excellent meditation techniques I use to fall asleep now. hugs!   Hope you get some rest, Michelle

Hi Michelle ! Thank you for the info.  I try meditation and see where it will take me. hugs! to you to Leawanda

Hi there, I am on a bunch of psychotropic meds for a variety of things and one of them helps me to sleep.  It is not a sleeping pill but has powerful sedative effects just the same. If you are on a prescription, I would suggest that you might want to consider therapy to help you work through whatever life issues may be coming up.  I have also learned to self-soothe in therapy.  This helps me not to do the old addictive behaviors, though I have not mastered this just yet. Meditation is one way to self-soothe.  There are other ways to do that as well. Good luck. Hugs, Trish
