Day 17- anybody else’s sex drive not up to par these days? I feel groggy upon waking, sluggish for a few hours until I take in some caffeine. I also have been acting like a real bitch and irritated more than when I was downing a bottle of wine every evening. My stomach is all messed up as well…constipated…blech…I feel crappy and hoping it all passes and I find the natural high I use to have on life. I am so unmotivated.

I’m on day 18 today and in still all of those things, but I will get moments of clarity. I haven’t had a sex drive almost at all since I quit drinking, I haven’t been backed up though, but I eat really healthy diet with a lot of high fiber it helps. I do feel a little better each day though so I stick with that, I know it’s worth the effort

Thanks for replying. I’ve recently started taking in lots of fiber…I’m probably not drinking enough water though. My sex drive is null and happened after I stopped drinking as well! I wonder why though?

Your body needs time to heal, get enough sleep, eat well, and try little exercise, walking is great and anyone can do it. All your physiological functions are moving back into balance, it just needs time

Over 60 days here, sex drive is still low, but getting better.
I also had bowl issues, but have gotten much better.
Might be going through swings of mild depression, motivation isn’t quite there, hard to get out of bed in the morning. But, everything has progressively gotten better overall.
In my reading, lots of these issues can last up to a year or better. So I’m just being patient with the recovery before I start consulting a doctor. We did lots of damage to ourselves, going to take time.
All I know is that I do not want to go back to the old me and looking forward to my sober future.

A whole year…wow! Congrats on your 60 days! I do not want to go back as well. My goal is 30 days for now and it is rough.

I haven’t had any sex drive for years. I was hoping it was the alcohol that was causing it and that I might get it back now. But I know my body is still injured. It will probably take time. Who knows how damaged my liver was.

Your body is healing especially your liver, try milk thistle and probiotic. Also when we consume alcohol to our degree of over consumption our vitamin B12 is literally stripped from the body. So a good vitamin B 12 supplement is really good. I go to the pharmacist and ask for the injectable one and get some diabetic syringes and inject 1mg per week. Also B12 helps with depression… Another note get a natural vitamin made for women.
