Recovery Stages Stage 1: Withdrawal Stage 2: Early Abstinence ( Honeymoon ) Stage 3: Protracted Abstinence ( the Wall ) Stage 4: Adjustment/Resolution
Stage 1: Withdrawal Physical detoxification Cravings Depression/anxiety Low energy Irritability Exhaustion Insomnia Paranoia Memory problems Intense hunger 5-36
Stage 2: Early Abstinence Increased energy and optimism Overconfidence Difficulty concentrating Continued memory problems Concern about weight gain Intense feelings Mood swings Other substance use Inability to prioritize Mild paranoia
Stage 3: Protracted Abstinence Continued lifestyle changes Anger and depression Isolation Family adjustment Positive benefits from abstinence Emotional swings Unclear thinking
