I also had no cravings and like you thought that strange. Everyone told me it was so hard to quit and it wasn’t.
Can vouch for your sleep experience.
I have actually gained weight since quitting but I eat like a horse. I only eat one huge meal a day but might snack a couple of times a week.
My BP/Cholesterol/Metabolic Panel/Weight are all excellent.
Mentally all I have noticed a slight improvement in short term memory but accessing long term memories seems to have slowed down slightly. I have to think about them for a second rather than them being instant.
I have minor aches and pains I either didn’t notice or didn’t have while drinking.
I have been lax on the exercise.
Overall I feel better sober.
Roger that.
It's like my conscious brain is running at a faster tempo than my memory centers. Sometimes it takes my memory several hours to produce something I used to be able to recall instantly.
I have heard that this is because the brain is readjusting to being sober all the time. I have noticed that my brain is slowly getting in sync, but I guess it will take time.
As to exercise, the body and the brain are deeply intertwined and, I am told, exercise (mental and physical), a good diet (I am on keto), and rest will in time bring things back to normal or better.
And, as always, I am certain that a positive, can-do attitude is a powerful supplement in a return to peak conditioning.
Best of luck to you. Hang tough and fight the good fight.
