Day 26 and losing it...typical?

So somewhere along the line today I realized I had been wearing my sweater backwards and my underwear inside out...oh, for nine hours or so...

Then tonight I was baking, took the rolls out of the oven, put four loaves of bread in the oven...and promptly forgot they ever existed, to the extent of wandering by a while later and turning the oven completely off. I've been baking that bread twice a month for maybe twenty years.

I know brain fog goes with the territory, but is this typical or am I just losing it?

I've been sober for five years at a time, ten months, four months, blablabla etc. over the years, but I don't ever remember being this addlepated...

I think it's typical in early recovery to be a bit 'off'. I still do it, cause I'm scatterbrained, as mom used to say.

Give yourself more sober time for your body and brain to heal and learn to function normally again.

Yeah, patience and kindness toward yourself is essential.

Congrats on 26 days sober.
