Hello Gunn.. I hope this day finds you well and rested.. as everyone has said sleep will even out although I still have sleepless nights occasionally 3 years out. You are home !! I'm so Happy for you.. Only for the fact you are surrounded by those whom love you and that you love. maybe the change to the city has added a lil anxiety along with not being alone.. although you love your family it is a change.. Keep a positive attitude ok.. lesa

Hey dude sleep can be elusive for a wile it will come and go just give it some time and remember your in a different place now it takes some getting use to hang in there it will get better good luck and God bless........Gnarly

Hey bro - I feel for you. I still have to take an OTC sleeping pill. I take Unisom because Sominex was making me anxious and I'd kick my legs at times. Unisom uses whatever Nyquil uses.

Anyway, I don't feel addicted to these sleeping pills, and I do take breaks from them. Your sleep is important, so maybe talk to your doctor about this. I would stay away from prescription sleep aids those. I've heard some pretty hair raising stories.

Blessings, and I will say a prayer for ya! David

Going back home can be stressful and you may not even know you are feeling that way but your brain does.  The sleep will come gunn, just keep hanging on~~~sara

Hi Gunn, hang n there, I have heard alot of people say that "sleepy time" tea is very effective. I'm sure I'll need it myself. Let me know if u try it. Best wishes to you :)

gunn, I wish I could wave a magic wand and help you sleep!  My sleep comes and goes, but is getting better.  You have done so well and I hope that gives you some peace!!!!!

Thanks for sharing :) returning home to the ones we love is a happy time but fear and uncertainty tries to creep in. The transition itself may cause a restlessness that interferes with sleep. Try not to think so far ahead as not to cause anxiety. Live in the moment. Get active with your family. Spend time outside. Go for walks, shop together and play together. Help your wife to understand your love for her. Aftercare is vital. Don't leave your sobriety in the hands of willpower alone. You are a good person. Let your love and dedication for your family shine through your actions. My heart is so happy for you! We are here to listen and support you in any way we can. Take care and keep us posted!
