12 Days

Which is a record for me. I'm very tired and not getting much done. I thought I'd have loads more time and get more done but staying sober feels a bit of a full time job. Reading the posts here does help.

It truly does get better. I was like a slug the first few weeks.

Don't be discouraged mayg. I was exhausted from all I'd put myself through. I needed at least a month to feel close to normal. It will happen. You're doing great.

Welcome! Congratulations on your twelve days! That's great! It's hard work at first, but well worth it. It will get easier.

Yeah 12 days is early. I don't have a ton to time in but I started getting a lot more energy around day 22 or so. I know that seems very far away - but it's not. It really isn't.

Know the best thing? When you start sleeping normal it's really great sleep. really - it is.,

I agree with the others, be patient, you will get there. No more hangovers, either!

12 days is awesome. You have made it through the hardest part, at least for me. That first week was hard. It will get better each day, and you will grow stronger. A lot of healing is going on right now. I am really proud of you.

After abusing my body with alcohol for years it took a toll. I think you may need to listen to your body and allow yourself to rest and recover.
