Hi everyone, checking in. I have around a month of sobriety and have been getting headaches pretty much daily, every afternoon/evening. Is this common in early sobriety? How long does it last? I don't remember this happening during my other attempts of sobriety. Maybe I forgot though.

Thanks and have a happy sober day!

Thoughts and prayers are with Keets tonight- hope all has gone well friend.

So I’m sitting here trying to do “me” stuff: my kind of dinner, SR, and reading/watching other recovery things. I know this is the path for me, despite my constant veering off.

I'm having to travel a lot and am feeling the effects. Traveling is hard on me..its demanding I get tired. I am traveling nearly every week through March. My husband's reaction doesn't help. I'm feeling like my kid is lacking. Basically my life is focused on work and catching up on my rest. Add in a few drinking episodes and working through hangovers. Seems like there should be more to life.
