Im so tired of being tired. I have no energy and everything just feels like a chore. I feel defeated right now. Looking for a job and just cant seem to find one in my area. I am just so worn out. I just cant seem to get out of this funk im in. Im almost 5 months sober and my doctor has told me its going to take time to get my energy back and to start feeling normal again (can take up to 2 years to fully be okay) but im sitting here praying i can get motivated. I dont know, im just struggling right now.

This helped me a lot in early recovery...trust the process and allow the universe to right itself in your life after the damage caused by using...both physically and spiritually. Keep going and keep reaching out for support.

Would you consider a conversation?
I agree with what has been said. I am fortunate to not have relapsed, today, there is one waiting for me. In the rooms I have heard relapse stories and NO ONE, has said a drink/drug made the problems go away, or give a moment of energy. I ALWAYS here it got worse.
I'm a big proponent of going to meetings and telling on myself. Yes, it is a part of working a solid program. Also, I find it a way to network and throw myself out there. Not only am I naturally an introvert, and have difficulty meeting people, the disease wants me to isolate more. If I can fight the disease using ALL the tools available, I have a better chance of staying sober.
Also, in a room I heard a lady say she was a server and was having difficulty standing and wasn't getting enough hours. I was a L&D Managerbin a call center and knew we had spots in an upcoming training class. I gave her the info, helped her apply, among a few other tips to pass the interview process and she was hired for the next class. She didn't show up for work a week later, that was her decision. I can't get people sober, I can't make them to come to work. That doesn't discourage me from helping someone else.

You will come out of it, promise - it will just happen - give yourself grace - it took me three months to get over the worst of the physical withdrawal and another three to start coming out of the fog - your body and brain are regrouping, healing, adjusting, and aligning - it does take time

It took time, my problem was I was so malnourished, seriously low iron and needed to train my mind to sleep at night instead of having a phone in my hand. Glad to say all of that has improved 10 fold. I hope this is encourages you to just keep going. You’ll start to feel better soon.
I walk vitamins like B12 and multivitamin water cut back on coffee

Yeah it gets better, take your time. It takes a lot of time to find a job, just take it easy.
