I'm so exhausted today. I was fine yesterday and the day before but this day 4 I'm tired as ever. Fighting to keep my eyes open and it's on 3:30 pm.. what gives???

Congrats on day 4. You're getting through the worst of it.

I've detoxed more times than I care to admit, or know for that matter. Most the time I'm a nervous, anxiety ridden, manic mess for about 2 weeks. Exercise and housework are my saviors. For whatever reason, this last time, I was exhausted. That has never happened to me before....and frankly it was MUCH more comfortable. I found that simply laying down for 20 minutes every couple of hours, really helped.

It will pass.

Listen to your body, and enjoy getting some rest. Great job on day four!! You will have a week before you know it.

Rest is underrated imo...rest is rejuvenating

At this point listen to your body. My tiredness varies day to day. I am a go go go person normally. If I am not going, I feel defeated, lazy and get frustrated at what I do not get done. As of late I've learned to try to be more go with the flow. What needs done today will still be there tomorrow. I utilize my energy when it's there. When it's not - well... Simply rest.

The body is repairing the damage alcohol has done and feeling lethargic in very early sobriety is a common by product while the body heals

Sleep when you need to x

Agree with the others, rest/sleep just do whatever it takes, when I sobered up some time ago I had afternoon naps for almost two weeks, sometimes they were 2 1/2 hours and I was actually sleeping good at night.

All the best

We beat ourselves up quite badly - we need time to heal. I was exhausted & drained from all I'd put myself through. Everything changed & got better. Be patient & kind to yourself, tonib.
