It will get better, can go up to 45 days, but usually doesn't last that long. Stick with it, it will get better pretty soon!

Medical help is valuable. As is fellowship! When I choose loneliness, I end up drunk.

Oh girl, hang in there! It WILL get better :heart: I'm 70 days sober today, but I couldn't walk only 60 days ago. Literally. My feet, legs and abdomen went numb yet I couldn't stop moving them. Could barely sleep. My husband and mom had to carry me to the toilet (had to wear an adult brief...) I thought it would never end. The time will pass and will be worth the pain of now. You've got this!

Thank you

I appreciate it

It took me two months to walk, first with a walker and then a cane - your body is in shock and trying to accept no substances and heal - it does take some time depending on length of addiction and quantity - don’t give up - you may need a non narcotic to relax you and/or sleep as a temporary aid

Bodies take time to heal. After this part is over you won't have to go through it again, unless you start actively drinking. Good luck!
