Day 4 and I am feeling rubbish
I have been trying to be positive and productive - going shopping, cooking, spending time with my parents.
Not sleeping great though and today I feel anxious and jittery. It's gone midday and I still haven't washed much less got out of bed. I hate feeling like this

Unfortunately its part of a lor of peoples withdrawal stories nightshade. Try and tough it out - things won;t be like this too long.
Get up have a shower, get something to eat - you'll feel better

It sounds like you did too much in the first few days..Drinkers really need to rehydrate and rest before they go on to tackle the world.
I'm not saying everyone is the same and my last detox was horrendous...I literally could not go out of the house or eat food for 6 days....I spent a lot of time hydrating and taking vitamins before my appetite and strength returned enough for me to even drive my car.
You are doing good if you went shopping and stuff..but you really should take care of yourself for the next couple of days..do as little as possible and focus on healing your body...Let someone else go shopping. Put Gatorade on the list

I'm about where you are and have just about recovered the mental ability to do 15 mins much needed housework I'm not too stressed about feeling terrible, because I have got sober before and I know it passes. My anti depressants are starting to work too.
It's a rebuilding process of everything. Small victories everyday. I managed to some sleep last night without waking up every five minutes, for the first time in weeks. Yay.

Its only four days in. Your body and mind are tweaking right now. Not used to being without their fuel. To function feel me. Water.rest. things will start to improve . I promise. Long as you dont drink. Thats the only way it will solve it. Keep coming back

Im on day 4 as well, I remember your post saying you were feeling pretty great on your day 3. Like the other post maybe you pushed yourself too hard. Im feeling ok, just woke up at 1pm lol. I slept good, but my sleep schedule is terrible I couldnt fall asleep until 7am. I have an interview tomorrow morning, hopefully get job and start work soon after so its going to be an intense adjustment. I'm prepared to not be able to sleep until 7am, then interview at 9am oh well.
I would say just take it easy today, it's sunday rest day. Do some chill stuff around the house, maybe a walk, cook something, or just order some food and chill. Hang in there. We both on the same day sober, we got this!

You will get there.
Congratulations on 4 days nightshade! Keep pushing through, it will get better - poisoning our bodies for a considerable period of time does mean that it takes a while for our bodies to recover and adapt to the new normal but it will happen.
