Day 16 🤦‍♀️

This is totally normal in early recovery. It’s partly physical: the brain is overcompensating with signals because you’re normally numbing them with alcohol (for which the brain has been compensating for years; it’s used to it).

Ride the wave. (And kudos to your husband for recognizing your desire to stay sober & healthy.) Some people here go for long walks, hours, listening to music; others do podcasts; others join meetings, 3-5 meetings a day if necessary (there’s no limit & they’re free - it’s a good way to pass the time and to feel heard, and not alone):

Take care & remember: you’re a good person who deserves a safe, sober life where you can be your full self.
