over it! Brain fog
Hi all,
Today started off ok. Day 59 sober
One of the things thats bothered me the most was the brain fog spacey out of it feeling that I got when I first quit. I hated it and it was quite scary. But it cleared up a couple of weeks ago almost completely. Today it came back again and I had a little bit yesterday. My doc. Sais im improving and bloods arent too bad. I just want to feel better and its 2 months in! Thought i was through it! Sometimes I question that it is the alcohol giving me these symptoms.....the thought of is all this worth it to stop drinking crossed my mind.... I am tired trying to get in a sleep routine again andvthat doesnt help how im feeling....

Hi Mrjustin and well done on 49 Days, I am on 11 now and just coming out of the fog, not my first time here so not too bothered as I know will go in time, especially with care of good diet, exercise, sleep and B Vitamin's. I believe what you have might be PAWS (Post alcohol withdrawal syndrome) as opposed to acute withdrawal (WHICH YOU HAVE PASSED NOW) this can last for MONTHS, a year to two (depending on person and history etc.) and can come in cycles of 30, 60, 90,days and quit anniversaries. I don't know what to say to you except to try the above and give it time, take the bad with the good and relax and be happy where you are now. take care and good luck, Carlingford.

Hi. Congratulations on your road to recovery.
This sort of thinking can create a path of destruction because of our delusional thinking.
“Sometimes I question that it is the alcohol giving me these symptoms.....the thought of is all this worth it to stop drinking crossed my mind.”
Try to remember that alcohol is a very toxic substance, not a health drink gone bad in our system. Relapses are led by stinking thinking.
BE WELL

Sounds like your AV is getting desperate !
It is worth it. Although I've had my fair share of brain fog, depression and anxiety since I quit, in some ways I feel a million times better. The very best thing, though, is knowing I am off the booze and healing, even if it takes years, it's better than where and who I was when I was drunk.
Don't go back on the merry go round.
Hang in there.
