Regarding tiredness and withdrawal, this seems to be getting worse, not better. Anyone have similar experiences? Struggling to function at the moment and just want to spend the whole day in bed.
If I read it correctly that you are in your first week - then this is normal. I also had to deal with going to work. Early sobriety is tough. I could be exhausted all day and ill and then when I would want to sleep most - I couldn't. I was also doing to this to myself repeatedly and knew that it took a minimum of 3 weeks sober to - feel like I could function and get an inch of sleep. Then about 3-4 months to really reap in the rewards. The worst is the first week - the first 3-4 days - but that's still early recovery. Stay in bed, you're sick. That's also how I treated it. Your body needs to heal, that's why you feel this way. It's worth it, so stick with it.
