Anyone else?
Also, by 8:00 I am completely exhausted. Like I ran a Marathon exhausted. A friend told me it could be because my body is "healing" after years and years of abuse.
I'm going with this is all part of being clean now for a week or so...has anyone else experienced any of these?
Not worried about it, just noticing so many different changes in my body.
Happy sober day, my SR friends
Great job on 13 days!! And yes, I felt the same way- took a little longer for that sweet craving to set in but it did full force. We ingested a lot of sugar when drinking alcohol so our bodies are used to it. As for the exhaustion, ohhhh yes!! I was very sick when I quit and was completely wiped out. It was months before I felt "through that phase" and fatigue is still something I monitor carefully at 16 months.
Take care of yourself- not drinking is the only way to keep getting better and healthier.
