1997 until 2024, functional alcoholic!
Paws is definitely happening now within me, 47 days now without a drink. This is gonna take some time, have had ups n downs in energy levels, sleep quality ect. Things are definitely going on within, skin rashs are a problem atm, itchy eyes, weight gain, everything you've said in this video, i am going through.
Thankyou for this excellent video 🙏
Game here to research why I am feeling so tired!!! It feels like it will never end and my whole body just aches. I am 3 weeks sober and this sucks big time!
It will be better day by day , I was so tired too the first 3 months after quit drinking, a little patience and one day at a time
@@morchen70 Really? I was very anxious and irritable.
@@OhhhhhhhBugger yes really- the first 3 weeks was horror….but day after day the symptoms were gone and my holy condition changed ito a normal live , in the beginning slowly but months after months it will be better and better - the first year I think is the year with the biggest changes
It’ll pass I promise. I have a course on my website about early sobriety fatigue if you’re interested or you could check out episode 157 of my podcast. Search for Sober Powered on Apple or Spotify
1month and a week! Sober I’ve been drinking for 11yrs I feel terrible ! Anxiety has gotten worse ! Weird thoughts! 💭 I stopped because I would get severe HANGXIETY after drinking heavy ! Idk just wish all this passes soon I don’t want to give up on this sober journey just YET!

6 months!!
10 months
One year and one month sober, still going strong!
My PAWS was strangely very severe for a few months. I didn't start feeling better till I started supplementing with Li orotate and d-limonene. I have continued those two things because they really evened out my mood and feelings of well-being.
