Having someone to lean on can be a big help when you're feeling frustrated and pissed,trust me.I've stopped drinking after doing something incredibly stupid last
Friday and my girl has been like an angel.

Your real friends and family will be there if you need them.

And remember there's always fishing to help clear the mind and give you some perspective.

Best of luck to you.

Rick,
Like some have suggested try seeing a Dr on sleep disorders/ they love paying money to people to study them.
I would strongly advise you NOT to take anti-depressants, I have been there done that and that is one route you don't wanna go down.. You may get a good nights sleep but the rest of the day you will not even come close to being who you are...
The side effects from the meds suc bigtime. Worse than those fake potato chips (oily discharge) ... Seriously, I have tried a few of them and none were without some sort of side effect. I took them because I had to, not just cause I felt a little stressed (long sucky story).............
Good luck man, exhaust your other options first, and then maybe as a last resort... But you wont be bumpin any uglies if you are on the meds, like swingin a wet noodle
If ya need to talk or ya got any ?'s shoot me a pm or something.....

Used hard and put away dirty....

Cool

Sorry, I have no experience with the meds, although there have been times when I know that they would have helped. One of my brothers used to sleepwalk and would carry on a conversation only to deny saying anything of the sort the next day. It went away when he quit drink and drugs and refocused his life. I'm sure that's only one of many reasons for this and I make no assumption towards you. Was just him. I gotta hand it to you or anyone else who looks your personal demons in the eye and goes after them. Idunno, just trying to express my support. Best of luck to you. See ya at the Race this year?

Hey Rick, sorry to hear about your sleep problem. I might have missed it if someone else suggested it, but have you considered hypnosis? This works for some people for curing different vices and ailments. Don't know how it works on the subconscious, but it's certainly not intrusive or involves any drugs.

I was born 1/2 of one and worked the other half in .

stop drinking and see where that takes you . Meds are bad news , cause more problems in most than they started out with .

And maybe just maybe is time to get a new career !
get time with a pro and the best you can , lots of quackers out there just waiting to make someone even more crackers .

first Try the Dads suggestion if for no other reason , than to see if its your trip . Of course if you have enjoyed the services before . Nevermind !
