Q&A: brain fog possibly from alcoholism and/or lack of sleep.. have you had it? did you get rid of it?

Question by Schoolboy666: brain fog possibly from alcoholism and/or lack of sleep.. have you had it? did you get rid of it?
I’m 21. Between the ages of 18 and 19, I drank heavily every night. For some reason, drinking would cause me to wake up early the next day. So, i would only sleep about 4 to 6 hours a night, right after drinking. I would wake up the next day with brain fog which would slowly wear off as the day went on. Eventually, the brain fog kept lasting longer and longer throughout the day, until it was there all day. I kept drinking and missing sleep. Now I have not drank for 5 months, and i get brain fog when ever i:
go on the computer
play guitar
or play video games.
The brain fog lasts almost all day or until i do something for a few hours that doesn’t involve sitting or focusing.
Very late at night I can do these activities without getting brain fog.
It’s horrible. These were all my favorite things to do before I got this terrible problem. Do you have or have had this problem? Did you get better? I’ve been sober for 5 months and I haven’t seen any noticeable improvement. PLEASE HELP!

See your family doctor you may have done yourself some serious damage from drinking. I don’t advise you to let this go and assume it will fade on it’s own.

Question by Cyn: I have come to a point in life where the disease of alcoholism has seperated me from my children. Help!?
I am in AA, and I am approaching 3 mos. clean. I am enrolled in parenting, as well. My visitation was suspended as my disease caused me to be “in and out” of their lives. I have been to therapy. I am in need of legal advice, as to my rights and individual situation(s). Any counsel reommendations would be appreciated. Other than that I will give time, time. I just would like to know of any thoughts or facts that could help me reach my goal of being reunited with them.
God bless and thanks,
Cyn

Answer by ellytheorber
Firstly Cyn congratulations on staying clean for 3 months, getting with the AA program and parenting classes. All 3 are very big steps and you are now moving in the right direction.

Over here in the UK we have Citizen advice bureaus, not sure where you are but are there any free legal advice bureaus where you live perhaps run by charities?

Worth checking with your local council…don’t yer think?

additional info:

Yeah, she was a believer. and she went to rehab twice during her 13 year struggle with her addiction. There were periods where she wouldn’t drink for a few months, followed by non-stop drinking for months and months.

Thank you for all your feedback, everyone.
