Curious about energy. Anyone have same exp.?

Hi everyone, usually don't post twice in a day but have a questions for all my new friends. In day 10 and as previous post said energy level is at zero. But last two days feeling great at night. Feel like I really want to do something usually around 6pm. Because it's dinner time in Vegas for my family I usually don't have much going on with kids after dinner so with all the energy at night it's kinda to late. Wondering if it's because all the vitamins have had there way to work all day but really wish the day time would bring out this feeling. Probably just rambling on but sure feel great at night or evening but not during day. Guess I should be happy that I even feel good anytime so short into the process. Anyway have a great night all and I'll see you tomorrow for day 11 free of my demons.

My hubby just told me that the urgent care centers in our area offer B-12 shots for $20.  No other charges associated with it.  No prescription needed.  He said one of the guys he used to work with just had to fill out a form and pay for the shot.  He was allowed to get one a month.  

The B-12 shot I got today helped enormously so you might want to call around and see if you have something like that available.  You can tell them the truth, that you are going clean and sober and have energy problems or you can keep that to yourself and just tell them that your energy has been very low lately and that you don't want to hype yourself up with coffee all day (which I'm sure is true too).

Hope that info helps a bit!

Hey Good.  I just finished my 7th day and I'm noticing the same thing.  We are used to the energy we would get from taking our pills and I think it takes a bit of time for the brain and body to get back to normal.  In my case my energy has been better in the morning and then wham!!!  No energy at all.  My doctor told me to take a B-12 shot...that has helped tremendously.  If you can't get that maybe try getting a really good B Complex vitamin.  I used to take those in pill form daily and it was helpful with energy.

If you have time in the morning maybe try a morning walk and start getting those endorphins working earlier in the day.

I know I'm not being really helpful here...just wanted you to know that this seems to be fairly normal.  That is sad that all I can come up with is B Complex and morning walks.  I'm sure you'll get tons of advice from people who have been clean longer than we have been a little later on.
