I think days like that are very common in early sobriety, at least for me. Your body and spirit are recovering from something pretty traumatic and it takes energy and time.
I think that one of the biggest gifts of sobriety--and biggest challenges--really listening to our bodies and inner selves and giving it what it wants and needs, vs. drowning those wants and needs in alcohol. For so many years I've used alcohol to "shut off" feelings or as a reward for working myself ragged. Listening to what we need -- even if is a day in our pjs watching movies-- is important for self care and sobriety.
You are doing great!
