30 days sober but headaches?

I hit the 30 day mark today! Something I thought was impossible in the beginning. This past week I’ve been getting more and more headaches though. Anyone know what that’s about? I’m also finding myself feeling restless and jittery at times. Any advice would be appreciated.

Yay, Happy 30 days sober!!

There is all sorts of weird things with a recalibrating brain. There is something called post-acute withdrawal syndrome (PAWS), which is not completely understood.

Fresh air long walks ,plenty of water and maybe get some vitamins B6 and C , wish you well

Way to go Jenny - congrats on your 30 days!

I am sorry about the headaches. Keep working on your sobriety and i know you won’t have to relive these symptoms. Deep breathing, cool fresh air (if possible), Warm compresses for your forehead may help getting some relief.
:hugs:

I always believed that headaches are chemical sobriety in action
