I feel like I'm losing my mind!!! I have forgotten my password at work for MYOB that I've had for about 5 years, and I log on at least 10 times + a day LOL!! I literally cannot remember it!!!Forgot it suddenly on Thursday and it's gone!!!! Feel like someone has taken possession of my brain!! HAHA
Then to top it off, I gave my poor little puppy one of my diazepam tablets instead of her antibiotic tablets!!!! After a hysterical phone call to the vet, all is well and luckily it's safe for her!!! She did have a good nights sleep!
Has anyone else found themselves doing the most ridiculous things during early recovery? I honestly have to laugh....It's crazy!!!! I'd like those brain cells back asap!!!

Yep, it has been happening to me. In some ways I feel sharper but in others it's a real fog. 40 days sober here.

I've forgotten passwords but I relax and they come to me in a few minutes. or the next day.

Yes, I've had a fuzzy head in the beginning. It comes back. Just relax. Take your time.

5 days now and still can't remember !!! I'm hoping I'll wake up and it will come to me!! I'm on day 9 today of being sober so hopefully the fog will clear soon lol !!!

Mine was like that during my sober hours while I was in my drinking days.

Keep the faith! Our long-sober buddies here promise us we will soon be able to spell our own names again!

Nic233

Phew!! that's a relief! lol x

Haha!!! Yes!!! The same, it seems to have died down a bit now but i think im naturally clumsy anyway!!!! In the 1st few wks i felt that i couldn't remember things clearly & for a split second i thought id got drunk!!!! I forgot passwords, i guess its just our brains & bodies adjusting to the lack of poison!!! Glad ur pup was ok!!x

Congratulations on 9 days, Nic!

Just out of curiosity, are you an accountant using MYOB or do you own your own firm?

Nic233

Neither!!! I work in an admin position for a company so do accounts also.

I went through that too.
Don't give up, it goes away.

Soberwolf

It will pass Nic

Nic233

Thanks Soberwolf!! Hope it passes soon :-)

As your brain gets used to normal functioning, the fogginess and confusion will go away. Give yourself more sober time. It will get better.

I had a few times that I did wierd out of character things.. Making bizarre phone calls and stuff... But they were at least sober bizarre. ...

Nic233

Yes definitely happy that I'm losing my mind while I'm sober and not falling over drunk!!! :-)

One day I called someone I had not seen in years- don't know why but followed my gut- only my brain wasn't working right and I chickened out and hung up ..

I was very nervous too .. Anxiety
