Today is a blah type of day. I just feel tired, I have a dull headache and overall I dont feel 100 percent. I feel more exhausted then anything. At bedtime, despite being exhausted I usually cant fall asleep until after midnight and I still toss and turn. I wake up at 8 am dragging. Has anyone had this feeling?

i think most people can identify with that, alcoholics or not, Toni. I know it sounds weird, but getting more active often helps me when I feel like that. A brisk walk a workout or whatever will energise me, and often helps me establish a consistent sleeping pattern too?

Hope you feel better tomorrow

It's pretty normal to have days like that. I agree with Dee, being active is the way to go. It might help to give you more energy. Congratulations on Day 16!

That was my first 3 months of sobriety. Which plays a HUGE roll into me not wanting to ever drink again as I never want to experience those first 3 months again. My sleep did get better and then worse and better and worse... you get the idea.
Keep going!!! At 6 months I was SUPER and now at 10 I am back to full memory, better than before I had a baby even! My energy is amazing, the weight is FINALLY coming off as I am working out consistent.
It all gets better with time, we didn't just drink for 1 day, it was years so it take a bit to get better!

It takes time to get back to normal functioning. Give yourself good food, rest when you can, and some exercise. It will get better.

I still have blah days here and there, sometimes a few in a row, but they always do pass eventually.

One thing I've really been noticing is that I tend to sleep very poorly on the nights I've skipped a workout or indulged in too much junk food.

Exercise and good nutrition have a positive effect on my well-being.

everybody has blah days, eh days, just good ole day days. sobriety isn't a daisy strewn path with leaping unicorns and leprechauns tossing gold coins.

just take it easy....sleep when you can. don't expect too much.

Yes, at about the two week mark I felt "flat" and tired. It got better, and then today I had another flatliner day. They come and go. I'm at day 24.

I felt pretty much like that for around 6 months to be honest. It was really hard at first but things slowly got better. It's so worth it now that I'm at a place where I feel good in my sobriety.
