Question 79 days

Well, its been 79 days today and it feels like I am going backwards! I started feeing good on day 40 or so and then BAM on day 70 I started to feel sleepy and weak again. I'm thinking its PAWS but I'm not sure. I started drinking at the age of 16, and I began heavily drinking around 20 and I am now 39 so that's like 23 years give or take. My anxiety is back, and i just have an uneasy feeling! IM NOT GOING TO DRINK! IM NOT! i just thought i would throw this out there and see if anyone else has had the 79 day blues?

Love your user name, also. It was click bait to me. I knew I was going to read your post as soon as I saw your name.

As for the 79 day blues, I never experienced that. Of course we have good weeks and bad, more energy or less energy from time to time, so those particular symptoms in and of themselves don't alarm me a whole lot. I would be cautious about connecting them with drinking or even recovery.

But tell your doctor about it, because it could be something else that he can fix.

Sure, I have, not sure if it was at 79 ish but at points along this early time. Keep going- sounds like you are doing the things you should right now. Sharing with others is obv one tidbit you've gotten going!

Hi Clark

I had up and down days for my first 90 days or so and then things started to level out. Hang in there

This is the best link on PAWs I know - see if it rings any bells
