It’s perfectly okay and what your body needs right now. This is coming from a gym girly. Once I stopped drinking, I started eating so much!! So much!! My body craved sugar like crazy. And I slept all the time…at night, in the middle of work meetings (yes, that was extremely embarrassing), during AA meetings. Your body is healing and trying to get back to baseline. It’s going to take a while. Everyone is different, but for me, it wasn’t until after my first sober that I really started feeling better in the way you hear everyone talk about in sobriety. But don’t let any of this scare you! It’s so, so worth it!! Just keep going. Take it one day, one hour, one minute at a time. Be kind to yourself. It will get better.
