Quitting alcohol and the fatigue

Quitting alcohol and the fatigue

It's day 5 from quitting, I've never slept so much in years. Napping all day. I just spoke to an alcohol counsellor who said it's sobriety fatigue, my body going into repair mode.

Hi @MG2879 ,

Congrats on 5 days and counting of no alcohol! 🥰 well done!

I don't know much about recovery from alcohol addiction/use, but I would honour the opportunity to learn more through your journey if you decide to share along the way.

Willing to help support and encourage you however I best can. 😊
