Is this normal?
Day six of sobriety and I am feeling really tired and lethargic with no motivation. Of course, can't really rest with little one running around lol. Just wanted to know if this is normal and when can I expect to have some energy back? I understand that not everyone's detox is the same...just thought I would ask in a general sorta way.

Cripes I could have written this myself (except the bit about the little one, hehe). Feeling very down and tired at the moment. It's even hard writing this to be honest with you... Hopefully we'll feel better soon though 
Pretty sure it's very normal to feel like this.

It took me about 2 months to feel back in balance mentally and physically.
However...I had been a long time active alcoholic...and I was 52 so some low
"bounce back" was expected.
I did with my doctors permission use an eating plan for hypoglycemia
You could check with your doctor about this.

With proper care of yourself it should get better. I don't know how long you drank but I'm sure it was longer than six days. It takes tme to get ourselves 'right', mentally and physically. Don't give up now - it will get better.

Thanks guys! I can't wait to feel normal again, whatever that is. Lol. I just had a bunch of caffeine. Might not be the best thing but gotta keep up with the little one and get stuff done. Its a temporary fix for now.

I felt like I'd been on a trip to another planet & landed on Earth all disoriented & clueless. I was weak, exhausted, & fuzzy. Thankfully it all got a bit better each day. The fog lifted, the sun came out.
