When I say "drink", I mean I'm really, really thirsty all the time and I'm drinking ginger ale like crazy. (I hate diet drinks) I'm eating a lot of sweets too and I normally don't eat any.
I'm ready for bed by 7 p.m. or earlier. Also finding myself taking a cat nap in the middle of the day. It's a struggle to stay up and go to an AA meeting at 7 and 8 p.m. is completely out.
Is all of this normal???
Yes it’s normal to feel as you do.
I have the opposite problem, I can’t eat, sleep all day, and very depressed all the time
You are just going through withdrawals right now but things will pass
