Sunday night dread for Monday and my former routine to control it. For years, I had the worst Sunday night anxiety about work on Monday, which inevitably lead to drinking 5-6 drinks from 4:00 PM to 8:30 PM on Sundays. The drinks would temporarily relieve my anxiety and then to fight the hangover the next day, I’d take a vitamin B supplement. I’d then take turmeric to reduce the puffiness in my face the next day. Finally, I’d take melatonin to help me sleep. Inevitably, I’d wake up at 2:00 AM, anxiety through the roof, unable to sleep again until 4:30 AM, only to have to get up at 5:30 AM. Then I’d be irritable all morning until lunch and tired from my shitty night of sleep.

Now, nearly 8 months sober, I just go to bed and wake up refreshed. No anxiety. No supplements. No waking up at 2:00 AM. Just good sleep and productive days. My life is so much better now. IWNDWYT!
