Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators intend to assess the following:

* the efficacy of CBTi in treating insomnia during recovery,
* does a family history of alcoholism moderate the insomnia symptoms,
* does an improvement in insomnia lead to a decrease in impulsivity.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The primary goals of this pilot study are the following:

a) to assess for the difference in improvement insomnia, after 8 weeks of treatment with recommended CBTi, in Veterans with alcohol dependence during early recovery,

The secondary goals include the following:

1. to assess for any change in the alcohol consumption indices between the groups after 8 weeks of CBTi,
2. to assess for change in psychiatric symptoms of mood and anxiety across the groups,
