Sober since June 9, 2012

I drank pretty consistently since 1977. I didn't have the DTs, but about a week later I started experiencing anxiety and insomnia and depression soon followed. Some one that I have been in communication with suggested I may be experiencing post acute withdrawal syndrome (PAWS). Has anyone experienced this? If so, how do you cope? I take a antidepressant and a sleep aid for now. My real salvation is Jesus Christ.

I don't think anyone here can diagnose you with PAWs (or not)...but I think this link is one of the best.

Have a read and see what you think hoosiervet

Hoosier, anxiety and sleep issues seem fairly common early in recovery. Dee gave you a helpful link, and you can read a lot here about what people have experienced. Exercise seems to help a lot of people.Good for you on staying the course!
