Since giving up coffee almost two months ago, I actually feel tired for the first time in decades. When I near 10PM, my eyelids become heavy and I drift off to sleep not much later. Then I am dead to the world for 7-8 hours where I dont wake up or at least not remember that I do. The nightmares that have haunted me for years dont wake me screaming, although I still sleep with a light on. There have been too many things that have hurt me in the dark so that may last a long time. The massive detox I am undergoing is changing my body and mind quite noticeably and in positive ways. It doesnt mean Ill continue forever but I will be mindful of my toxins and not let my cravings betray me. The only challenging part is that I have to face my demons without an assisted escape. That has stretched me but I am adjusting successfully. Hugs are always welcome.
