1 week sober with the help of Antabuse. I feel anxiety, but at the same time, I feel so exhausted and sleepy with headaches. I wonder when this feeling will pass. When will I feel more "evened out"... I feel like my life is a mess, and everything feels impossible and overwhelming, from the littlest things to the big things.
Been there a few times!! I try to stay busy

You're going to feel a lot more. Your body is screaming at the moment. Let your mind get out of hand. What I mean is, go to a park or in your car and scream. I was angry when I hit my rock bottom. After a few days and if I was lucky that it was my day off, I grabbed snacks, drinks( water, juice) and locked myself in my room. Watched TV and avoided my phone. I cried, felt scared, lonely, but I was glad I did it. You usually confront your fears. Now, the physical aspect is quenching after 2 weeks, after that you'll feel great. The thing that I didn't realize at the beginning of sobriety, the demons that we all have inside start to come out. This is when you start to do the real work and why most people relapse. This is when you have to confront your truest and most painful feelings. Process that hurt, learn to let go of the guilt and shame. Forgiveness and grace is already there because you already took the first step to choosing not to drink. Let me tell you, once you're there, you'll feel 10x lighter. But like with anything else, know that it will not be easy at first but after a while it gets better! Much love and blessings!
