Hi all,
After a considerable wait (11 years) I have an appointment at a dentist to get my front 3 teeth sorted. Ive been in a continuous loop of alcohol and/or drug abuse for as long as i can remember. After a few months of contemplating i made the decision to stop everything. I was/am suffering from plantar faciatis, an incredibly painful thing. Thankfully my brother planted the seed that it was alcohol related and if i stopped drinking the pain would go away. Seen a podiatrist and he advised me to go out walking twice a day. This to me seemed counter intuitive. At first all i could manage was a 7 min walk around the block. My legs hurt, i was sweating and out of breath as i had rarely left the house for around 3 years. I was fortunate enough to go through an alcohol detox. A lady came to my house every day and delivered librium caps which stopped any withdrawal. Now i have a beautiful rescue dog (Tasha) and we walk about 10 miles everyday. I go to 4 or 5 AA meetings a week and my outlook on life has completely changed. I really live the sofi community, reading all of these posts has definitely helped my journey. We are all in the same boat re sleep problems but i find this program has given me more than just a spray.
Hi @del604 - this is absolutely incredible news - congratulations on such an incredible turnaround and so grateful that you chose to share this piece of your story with us.
Transforming 7 mins to 10 miles is such an inspiration 
You should be extremely proud of yourself xx
Congratulations on your life changing achievement! Glad to hear that you are feeling better, and getting healthier and also have a rescue dog to share your journey with. Wishing you continuing success on the journey you have started.
Thank you so much @cathy 
I had forgotten all about that post, hopefully other people will find it and maybe get something from it.

Wow, that’s amazing what you have done Derick, such an achievement, you should be very proud of what you have managed to do. I Really hope you continue to feel happy and healthy and continue walking with your lovely dog come rain or shine.
How is your sleep these days? Have you found any of the sprays helpful?
I got a decent night sleep last night 
I seem to throw one in every now and then very random tho.
Hi @grannysue269. Thank you for your kind words! 
I worked my way through the 3 main extracts and found the Passiflora to be easily the most effective for me. Weirdly when i went to order some on subscription, sofi worked out via my daily logging that Ashwagantha had proved more beneficial. Ive stuck with the Passiflora for now.
Cant find any rhyme or reason to my sleep patern im afraid. Maybe not over analysing.
Thank you so much for reading/replying
