I had PAWS. A little bit I still have anxiety but it's usually not a problem. I had a "flat affect" for awhile. That is when a response is called for and you just don't respond. You don't feel the need to respond. I was quite often too. Although I do tend to be quieter than most. I was quiet for me. Now I am more outgoing. I tend to voice my opinion in real time. And I know what I mean exactly. I love this "realtime" posts. Pretty quick responses that keep my interest. I am past 2 years sober. That is when the experts say the PAWS subsides. I believe it. Sobriety rocks!
