I relapsed in September or October, after my step father passed away. Ive been trying to get sober but i sleep for days and the only thing that gets me out of bed is to do more. How did you guys get passed this?
One thing that helps me when I do it is to set bed time and wake up time and stick to it. If I'm having trouble sleeping I focus on relaxing instead, and how it feels to breath. I give myself more time to wake up too, so I don't feel rushed.

I’m my experience there was a need and a want to not want to use more then I wanted to. I was given what I call the Gift Of Desperation. Then unfortunately the reality was that it just took some time for the exhaustion to go away. The good news is that it does! I was overweight, and getting sick on a regular basis, fatigued and just beat up. I needed some rest, I took some time and today I can tell you I regularly exercise, I get up and show up everyday, and have more energy then ever, I can only speak for my experience however I do know that it passes with most everyone else I’ve seen as well. Hang in there. Give yourself a break!

Sorry, typo. Thinking about breakfast helps.
Maybe go to a doctor & get an anti depressant. Most people who want to sleep a lot are depressed. Sorry about all that you are going through & good luck!!! 
Get to a meeting.
I know this sounds funny but getting up taking a shower and getting dressed even when you don’t want helps get the day started then a meeting
First few days to a week is ok to sleep all day your bodys goin through a lot. At some point tho( the sooner the better) you gotta kick yourself in the @$$ n remember theres still life goin on. Its gonna be a hard adjustment but its like ripping off a bandaid. The sooner you get back to real life the easier the transition will be... good luck its not as impossible as it seems.
