Hi all! Day 22. The initial elation that I felt after waking up with good sleep the first couple of weeks is gone. I am still sleeping OK but I wake up exhausted. Like I could sleep all day. And having vivid dreams. Had my first dream of using or being offered I can’t remember what I did honestly. And meditation has been a real comfort to me as long as it’s guided. If I try to practice on my own my mind chatter is too loud. All those years of undigested thoughts and feelings bubbling to the surface of my mind. So intense. I wonder if this fatigue is part of the whole body detoxification process. Or is my body exhausted from my overactive mind? Anyone identify? If so how long does this last? I guess it’s different for everybody but just curious so I have some sort of goal to hang onto

It’s different for everyone. Depending on your using. The brain needs time to rewire itself to a new you. Dreams don’t mean anything. When I awaken, always I say hello to my higher power. Put him in charge of the day. Works every time. Meditation definitely helps also. You are in a good place. Don’t fret the little things. Just don’t use today and tomorrow will get better. Always gets better. The struggles starting out are all normal. Just follow that “easy does it” path and you’ll be fine. Meetings? Get plugged into something?

I agree with K. Bradford, it varies person to person. I will say I've heard from a lot of folks who went through the same stage. It takes a bit to get through and will get better as you relearn how to process.
