I hope this isn't offside for this forum...
I will apologize in advance if some folks don't find this appropriate for discussion in this forum, but I am sincerely interested in peoples' experiences early in recovery. Here goes:
I'm 23 days in, feeling pretty good, eating well and even exercising regularly. My energy levels are mostly up despite some crashes of exhaustion now and again.
What I have noticed that has changed is my sex drive, which seems to be down quite a bit. Perhaps it's because I almost solely have recovery on my mind? Perhaps because of the chemical changes in my body?
I did not expect this and wonder if others have experienced similar drop offs. More importantly...does it recover??? :-)
I'm not panicking too much about it, but it has changed and while we haven't spoken about it yet, I get the feeling my gf is wondering about things too.
Thanks in advance for sharing on a topic that may not be easy to discuss.
And again, I'm not intending to be inappropriate in any way. It has been a legitimate concern of mine over the past week.
Happy Sober Sunday all!
