Interesting you say that, I can’t tell you how many times I have researched adrenal fatigue since getting sober. And I had a better reputation at work when I was drinking also. It was as if getting sober was a total dismantling of the self and I am trying to put the pieces back together in a way that fits.

I find I can’t exhaust myself like I could before, I just don’t have it in me. Stress gets overwhelming when it’s felt all day, all night, every day with no way to check out. I don’t need to prove myself in the ways I needed to before, life had to have a bunch of “props” for the drinking self, in order to be able to continue to drink.

Thank you for the links! So much.
