Newbie - 15 days sober today
Today is my 15th day without drinking. I've been doing it alone and grateful to have found this wonderful forum. I know that I should probably go to AA, but I am a loner and have chosen to do this by myself.
I am feeling healthier, but have no energy to do anything. I've been going to work and then coming home and going to bed to watch tv and read books. I don't have any energy or desire to do anything else with my time right now. I feel that I'm being really lazy and feel bad that I'm not cleaning my house and doing other things that need to be done, but I think that it is probably best that I am pampering myself and trying to avoid any stress. I live alone so it isn't like I am letting anyone else down. I can live with a messy house.
The only time I had a really hard time this week with wanting to drink was on my way home from work on Friday night. I got the old urge to stop at the liquor store, but was able to talk myself out of it. Once I'm home and watching a movie, I'm ok. Staying in bed and distracting myself with movies and books works for me now. I guess I'm waiting for my old zest for life to come back.
There are so many things that I want to do, but can't get motivated to do them. Is this normal?

I suggest you begin taking both
a daily Multi Vitamin and also a B Complex
A visit to your doctor is also wise.
Congratulations on your sober time!
