I'm 3.5 weeks in and I spent the first ten days or so crying at the drop of a hat, no energy, and lethargic. I barely left the house and when I did, I did not speak to anyone if I could help it. I was bored, took no interest in anything, and it was an effort to sit upright on the couch, let alone walk around the house. My laptop basically sat on the coffee table with SR on the screen, hitting refresh every few minutes. Days 5 and 6 were the worst I think and it started to taper off after that.
It gets better, I promise. Hang in there, and see going to an AA meeting as an attempt to triumph over your addiction. Even if you don't want to go, if it could help you stay sober it's worth a try. Best of luck, and let us know how it goes.
