I haven't drank in 2 weeks and... - GoFuckYourself.com

I'm having some SERIOUS problems sleeping at night. I would lay down at 12am and toss and turn until 4:30 or 5! A good friend of mine who is a recovering alcoholic told me to eat a bowl of ice cream 30 minutes before bed. I did that last night and slept like a dead man!

He said something about your body breaking alcohol down into sugar and when you quit drinking your body is looking for that sugar. Interesting fact and it worked!

By the way, I haven't drank for 2 weeks and haven't felt this good in years!

awesome

did you ever finish that gas mask bong?

llporter · 07-27-2005, 05:38 PM

Congrats on staying sober! Ice cream every night - I suggest you try some of that chuncky monkey from Ben and Jerrys. Top shelf stuff

tranza · 07-27-2005, 05:41 PM

That's good for you bro...

Did you drink a lot?

kektex · 07-27-2005, 05:44 PM

Right on HOA! Stay sober...keep gulping down that ice cream hehehe...

Spunky · 07-27-2005, 05:46 PM

Hmmm..perhaps that's why I have trouble sleeping for a few days after the weekend

NoCarrier · 07-27-2005, 05:58 PM

That's great man! Keep up the good work..

I'm having a nice cold beer right now..

darnit · 07-27-2005, 06:00 PM

If you were a heavy drinker its most likely because your body was used to "passing out" rather than natural sleep. It will take time for your body to readjust to creating its on natural sedatives.

This is a totally normal and expected side effect of quiting heavy drinking. It will pass over time.

Congrats and hang in there

xenigo · 07-27-2005, 06:02 PM

It's the carbs in beer that make you sleepy (and the alcohol, too). Icecream is full of carbs too, so you'll experience a similar effect.

I'd imagine you'd have the same experience if you were to just eat a bunch of bread.
