It's kind of like begin drunk without the buzz. This is your brain and body healing. We've numbed our neurons for a long period of time with alcohol. It will take time to heal. Give yourself 3 more months, it WILL reduce in this time. You are half way there, don't go backwards now!!!

Not all doctors understand addiction. The general practitioner knows in a general way what to look for in the body, then, when stumped, they'll send us to a specialist! PAWS, or Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome is real, according to the rehabs I've attended.

We all want an easier and softer way to heal from our years of self-abuse through drinking. Stay strong, you will be so happy you stuck it out.

I wish you well on your sober journey! Stay stopped and you won't have to go through this again.

Peace & love,
