Honestly, when does your energy come back?

[Sarah11212]

I'm on day 4 which I know is early.
I have been very lucky this time and not had the real agressive w/d's that I've had twice before. The worst part of this detox has been insomnia and extreme fatigue.
I am making myself get out for 2 short walks a day and taking lots of vitamins and supplements. How long does it take to get your energy back??

I'm in day 14, and my energy isn't completely back, but it is much better than day 4. A lot of it is mental, although it seems physical. Keep going on walks; take longer ones as you progress. On day 7 I went out and did yard work, cleaned the pool, etc. I DIDN'T LIKE IT, but I did it, and when I was done I experienced a sense of satisfaction for the first time in a long while.
As Sarah said, we're all different; you may be running a marathon in a couple of days, who knows. Day 4 was the turing point for me. Keep doing what you're doing. Keep reading and posting.

It varies with everyone.  Sometimes it can last a few months.  You are doing great on day 4 so keep up the walks and the supplements!
