Hang in there. Your body is adjusting

How long did it take for you personally, to adjust?
I got extremely sick, and had to go to the hospital. However when I got out it usually seemed like moments in time, but then I would be fine. If you can sleep that is great. Time seemed to go much slower once I got sober.

I am on day 6. I feel like mornings are great but towards the evening i start to get super irritated. What has helped reset me is going on a walk without headphones, working out, petting my dogs.

Totally normal. Itās ok just relax and do self care. Itās the body getting rid of the substance, your brain is adjusting to not having it. Today and tomorrow should be the worst then by day 10 about done. The next challenge will be how to deal with lifeās realities without our substance. That is where a program of recovery comes in handy. The 12 steps of recovery does for me what my substance was successful doing until it didnāt anymore. Just a heads up. It would have been nice to have that heads up when I encountered it. That to will be totally normal and ok. You are worth it and the work is worth it also.

Way to make it to day 4. Tomorrow is a new day
Meetings meetings meetings.
And bring up your feelings as a topic.
I hope you're hitting at least 2 meetings a day,IF at all possible.
Hang on tight and stay right in the moment. One Hour at A Time !!
You got this.
Day 405 and pretty much irritable all the time.
It will take some time but you will get there. For a long time seeing other people at restaurants drinking irritated me. But I had to learn that not every has a drinking problem and that it is ok for other people to do as they wish.

Yeah for sure. I have to get used to seeing other people around me drinking too.
Have to remind myself that I am āallergicā to alcohol, and they arenāt. I have a progressive addiction, a disease, and they donāt.

Yes!!!! A lot of times people discount the medical and scientific part of addiction. It is a disease that cannot and will not get better unless we find a way to heal it. Just like a cold or cancer.
