Nighttime is the worst because no matter how ragged you run yourself during the day, you're going to have that time between when you get into bed and when you fall asleep where your mind has a field day with your emotions. I'm running into a problem now, where I keep doing stuff until I am absolutely exhausted so that this time is minimised, but unfortunately that has me up half of the night most times (and then screwed for work the next day).
One thing that actually does help me is to read before bed. I find that I think about the plotlines of the book instead of the plotlines of my life, and in that sense it's not as bad. I find it best to be a complex mystery novel.

I've been letting my insecurities get the best of me the past few days, and as a consequence probably missed out on a few social opportunities. I'm so freakin' shy and anxious when I'm clean/sober that I'm rendered paralyzed quite often. I need to work on this.
