15 days sober and exhausted

I've finally made peace and have accepted the fact that I'm an alcoholic. I attend international AA meetings on Zoom daily. I have a sponsor and a crew of sober women that I interact with. My only issue now is that I'm experiencing exhaustion/fatigue since I stopped drinking. Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one! Congrats on day 10! I was told that my body is adjusting to not having alcohol/sugar from alcohol and to drink lots of water and a snack that has sugar.

Coming off our medication is like any other medication, we are not use to not having it so we tend to get tired from this our bodies are just as sick as our minds. That energy does return in about 2-3 weeks you'll start feeling better. If your on things like opiates this can take much longer. Hang in there it too shall pass we promise you that

I sure have. Some steak and brussel sprouts, and forcing myself to get some exercise helped me.
