Yeah, I have been sober for 54 days, and I still don't feel right - at first I felt exactly like you have described. At first I couldn't sleep at night, and just felt crummy. After a couple of weeks I felt better. I think it just takes time - fighting this battle takes a lot out of you, you know? I have been sober for 8 years then 9 years (relapsed both times) and remember feeling a lot better later, but it takes time. I am still not 100%, but dealing with the reality of almost wrecking my life has brought me down, and I think that manifests itself mentally, physically and psychologically. Hang in there, it gets much, much better. Exercise helps, and when you can sleep a normal night you will be surprised how much better you feel. I do have problems with being tired, but I'm hoping that passes. Take care. We care about you, and I am proud of you for manning up and quitting the self-destructive cycle.
