I am on TSM 3 months, there is an improvement but I am drinking to go to sleep. And this I can not change. It is more a habit than desire. What can I do? My story - an alcoholic for 13 years, kids, family, professional career, drinking evenings to relax. Started when my son past away. Stopped for awhile, maybe 2 years and gradually progressed to that.I hate the fact that alcohol is taking over. With Revia I have noticed less interest with drinking and less drinks make me satisfied. But I would love to be free. How to brake the night habit. Anyone please share.

erk,

Sorry to learn about the loss of your son. I can't even imagine how painful that has to be.

A few things that might help break the habit of drinking to go to sleep:

- Change the routine that leads up to your sleep time so you are not repeating the same steps that lead to that first drink.
- Perhaps take a sleeping aid (and not drink) to help you fall asleep.
- Some excercise before sleep time might boost your endorphins so you feel less like drinking.

Just a few ideas....

Nal can help you break the dependency and desire, but the habits are something you have to tackle on your own. You've got to find a new routine and develop new habits. get out of your comfort zone and establish a new way to live the small moments of your life. If alcohol is no longer chemically controlling you, you're already halfway there.

I second what coop said!
