Being sober is pretty stressful

It took me a good 10 days after quitting to start to feel "normal" and sleep without waking up drenched in sweat. Depending on intake and other factors it can take a while to fully heal. Months or longer.

Something I realized was that alcohol was actually causing my anxiety and depression, which was one of several things that led me to quitting. I paid compound interest on the short term relief.
