Congratulations on 9 days! Your body is healing, getting the substance itself out of your system should be a matter of days, but the body and brain healing takes time. Sobriety is not just about stopping the substance, it's about the healing as well. Symptoms like moodiness, fatigue etc could still come and go for weeks, months, depending on what you are doing with yourself. Using is not the disease itself, for me, my drinking was just the way I dealt with the disease, the end result of how I coped through life. A disease of my thought process, my emotions, my actions, reactions and feelings. I had to grow and develop new ways of thinking, feeling and living. It took time for the real symptoms of old thoughts, irrational beliefs, and how I used to take things, to become newer better ways to live. It is here that symptoms of stress, reactivity, negativity, sadness, emotional and mental tiredness started to not just go away, but stay away. As you heal, you also need to develop new ways to process as our old ways led us down the same path over and over again. Don't give up, don't lose hope, keep pushing forward and keep telling yourself that true healing, and true growth take time. And you are continuing to move in the right direction. It takes time, one day at a time.

What are you getting clean from? It all depends they are all different
Been over a year and usually I’m great. But I still have my days. Stay strong and know you are with the right people here. Prayers.
Congratulations on you time. I still have those days at 27 months. No set time. Everyone is different. Just stick to it. Get a recovery network. AA meetings helps a lot. Then sponsor and sober friends.
That’s perfectly said.
