Hey Scott, thanks for getting back to me. Iv been listening to Martin’s podcast and I was referring to the sleep restriction. I find it so hard to get out of bed when I cannot sleep due to the medication. Iv been taking quetiapine and gabapentin which had helped me over several months but just like all meds, they lose their effectiveness. I just want to be free of all these meds.
I’m ready to join Martin’s coarse, but I know it will be difficult, especially still taking those meds at first because they are very sedating. I have had sobriety for 20 years but feel I am dependent on something again. I guess if I can quit drugs and alcohol I should be able to get through this program.
My rituals consist of excessive exercise, sleep hygiene, laying out all my meds and and herbal supplements at night. I think I’m very desperate and trying to sleep which Iv learned on the podcast that we can’t feed our anxious feelings.
Thank you very much for your time and suggestions.Blessings,
Robert
