Glad u r hanging tight..and congrats on 12 days!
The loss of energy hit me hard and for me was the toughest part as my life stays busy.  I also drank rocket shots to get out the door for work.  Exercise and tyrosine helped me as well.

Hang in there and keep posting

Sleep and energy are usually the last to come back but they do.  Getting up and moving around like you do is the best thing even tho it doesnt feel like it right now.  Congrats on 12 days clean!!!  Enjoy your company tonight~~sara
