I definitely did. I had a hard time sleeping but a few weeks in I started sleeping soooooo much more deeply.

It takes a minute for our brains to rewire without alcohol.

If I drink anytime I feel so bad for 3 days. I feel really well now. Makes me want to drink. But I remember what it does

You are bound to feel many things depending on how long and how much you drank - enjoy the rollercoaster - embrace the changes - it’s all worth it

I did. But I drank heavy for 6 years and daily for 15 years before that. Your body is figuring out how to function without toxins....healing from the inside out and it is draining on your systems. Just go with it. Sleep is a recovery method. Hugs.

You will feel tired for a long time your dopamine level is baselining back to normal you're not getting those rushes anymore that alcohol or substance abuse (polysubstance) use gave you.

Your body’s been through a lot and it takes time to bounce back. Keep eating, hydrate, rest when you can and give yourself some grace this first week.
