Why Don't I Feel Better Sober? EP 126


Listen Later

You quit drinking expecting to feel amazing... but what if you're feeling worse before you feel better?

So now you're wondering:

"Shouldn't I feel better by now?"

In this episode of Sober & Lit, Ruby and Susan unpack a little-known part of the alcohol-free journey:

PAWS (Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome).

You'll discover:

• Why recovery can feel harder than expected
• Common symptoms of PAWS
• How long healing may take
• Signs your brain is actually recovering
Tools to stay encouraged and keep going

If you've ever thought:

• "What's wrong with me?"
• "Why am I still struggling?"
• "Will I ever feel normal again?"

This conversation is your reminder that healing isn't always linear...and sometimes the symptoms you're worried about are actually signs of progress.

Nobody talks enough about what can happen in the first 90 days after quitting alcohol. That's exactly why I created The First 90 Days Reset Guide. Because if you're exhausted, anxious, emotional, or dealing with brain fog, you might think something is wrong with you.
