Feeling foggy In the head, normal???
Feeling foggy In the head, normal???
Hey all,
I been feeling a bit foggy in the head and I'll walk in a room and forget what I was gonna do, I have to stand there and think for a minute. Also feel off balance sometimes....these are all weird and unpleasant feelings. I'm 2 weeks sober. Just wondering if this is normal in the recovery process and if anyone else has experienced any of this? Feel like my brain is out of wack or something. Can't think straight sometimes. Its just very bizarre. Idk how else to explain it. Like I feel disoriented or disconnected..... Not liking the feeling

I am sure it will all pass Angeleyes.
I get quite a lot of health anxiety but it is good to not be worrying that I am going to die of liver disease or alcohol-related stroke anymore. I am coming up for 3 months and I still get that exactly as you describe. Sometimes I think it is menopause and other times I think I have done irreversible damage to my brain cells. But then I talk to one of the young ladies that I work with and she gets it too. I know she has a lot of stressors going on so it is probably just a bit of anxiety, stress and the overload of modern life.

Congrats on the almost 3 months!
Thanx Anna... Just not liking all these weird feelings and sensations. I get tingling feelings in my face and all. Its kinda scary... Makes me think there's something serious wrong with me. .... I hate anxiety!
Two weeks is pretty early in recovery. It takes time to heal and get back to normal. I think it took me about a month to feel 'right'. But yes, do see your doctor if it's bothering you a lot or getting worse.
As long as you don't drink, it will get better. You'll have good days and bad days, but facing a bad day sober is so much better.

Thanx for replying Lucinda. Good to know I'm not the only one feeling like this. So, you still get all those feelings I've mentioned too, sometimes? I even get muscle twitches in my face and all. All this makes me feel like I have some horrible disease or something lol! ... I also have health anxiety. Had it for as long as I can remember. And it doesn't help that I google every system I get!
Congrats on the almost 3 months!

Well done on the 2 weeks! How are you doing today?
Thank you everyone for your feedback. I'm 18 days sober now! Symptoms come and go. I rather deal with them instead of being drunk all the time and depressed. I do have good days and bad days but, I will NOT drink today!
