So the weirdest thing happened… both my wife and I decided to stop drinking. Anyways, for some strange reason I woke up today feeling like I’d drunk yesterday (which I didn’t). I began explaining it to my wife and she said she woke up feeling the same way. Have anyone experienced that?

Yes! Just this morning actually, I figured it was dehydration from not drinking enough water last night and waking up with the sun on me. I have had that after a takeaway too. Scary when you wake up but so nice as soon as you register you didn’t drink after all.

Lol, it’s funny now but this morning I was like “WTF”! I didn’t feel like hungover, just low energy and tired. I just laid in bed for an hour or so after waking up. My wife said she woke up with a headache. Weird!

Haha, I know exactly what you mean. You totally panic and retrace your steps wondering what happened. Luckily a glass of water and a coffee meant an hour later I was fine.

No sir. I actually don’t even like beer. I was a bourbon drinker. I only drunk lemonade and water yesterday. I’ve heard of alcohol free whiskey but I’m afraid to try it. Afraid it’ll make me want some real bourbon.

I get this a lot. I’m 80 days in Sober and still get foggy and weird mornings. They really kick hard.

Happens to me when I am sleep deprived, actually. Foggy mind and just an awful feeling in my throat and chest. Less than 4 hours of sleep makes me feel like I’m hungover and smoked cigarettes. Very weird.

I feel the same without good sleep. The worst are drinking dreams where you wake up and are really convinced you drank and did something stupid.

I actually think that’s what it is. My sleep has been off schedule the past few days. I’ll try to go to bed a bit earlier today.

Lol, haven’t had those yet. I’m only a week in the game though so… I love hearing what others have dealt with so I won’t think I’m crazy if it happens to me.

Thanks twinnie.
It happens…… My friend calls them freebies… One time when I woke up and exhaled I thought I smelled alcohol. But that’s off of coffee sure feels better when that happens!

Congrats on a week. I did read that withdrawal brings in headaches in case that’s what your experiencing.

I’m laughing with you, not at you. I’d probably would’ve freaked out. Sobriety is much easier when you have people that’s going through it with you. Thanks bud.

I don’t think it’s withdrawals. I think it’s just my sleeping schedule. Normally I’d drink myself to sleep. Lately I’ve been staying up later but still waking up early.
I see. I hope you are able to get good sleep in the coming days.

If I have to much sodium this happens to me. I drink a lot of water, pretty much only water except my 1 mug of coffee in the morning.
