I am drinking lots of water but am permanently thirsty. I also still have a pain in my back like there is something wrong with my kidney .. but I'm peeing Ok ( sorry for TMI) so I don't think there is . It is the unrelenting exhaustion I can't deal with . I thought it would be gone by now.
Anyway , happy new year everyone - may it be sober and awesome for all of us.

Omg! Yes I remember that exhaustion in very early days, all I can say is go with it, remind yourself your body is healing, its taken a battering for x amount of time so it does take time to physically recover. You are doing amazing, the way I see it if your sleeping a) your not drinking and b) your not thinking about drinking sooooo sleep those early days away as much as you can
