I’m on day 11 and I’m unsure about how I feel? I mean I’m happy that I’ve been able to keep 11 days because I haven’t done that in years. But sometimes I feel maybe emotionally numb and definitely exhausted. I know if I keep going with my yoga and journaling I’ll be ok, just hard to motivate myself sometimes.

For me it got better with time. I think I started feeling really good a little after 14 days. The excercise sure helps me too!

It is hard for sure sometimes. A guy told me a good day in sobriety is when u do a bunch of things & have a productive good day. A great day is when u feel off or down things seem
sh!tty u go through something & u still don't drink that's a great day.

Thanks Amanda !!!!! I’m doing my best over here just really tired
Don’t forget to rest, your brain in now in the early stages of healing and brains need to be “shut down “ to do its healing. It will shut down systems like emotions temporarily to do what it needs to do. They will come back so be prepared because it can be overwhelming also. You got this, just accept the journey and you are worthy

You’re always so encouraging ! Thanks Brian! I’ve been known to mistake resting for laziness, too. So that’s something I need to pay attention to.
