Hi JDM -

Yes, I had a case of the tireds, so frustrating!

For me I felt similar to when I had mono (another inflamed liver issue). Not sure if you drank enough to stress your liver, but I certainly did.

I read that we are tired because our bodies are making up for doing a lot of repair work that they couldn't do while we were drinking. The body normally does this while we sleep. Viewed in this context, I wasn't so frustrated with my body asking for rest, and found if I gave it what it wanted, it did heal and my energy did come back.

Visiting a nututrionist/natural path who had experience with addictions helped me get on the right vitamins and diet. This helped quicken my recovery.

Looking at pictures 2 years later, I don't look like the same person. Today I radiate health. Keep it up - it's worth it!

Good luck to you!
