You are making it Alpha. I didn't notice any paws until 4 months. I felt foggy and depressed for about the first 2 months. I felt better off and on because I wasn't having hangovers anymore. Month 3 was pretty good. At 4 months everything went haywire: sleeping problems, cognitive problems, obsessive thoughts, periods of mania then depression. Basically I can only describe it as what people with bipolar must feel. It came on slow for about a week then I had 2 really bad days then it leveled back off over the next week. About 6 weeks later I had another episode but it was much less severe. I started taking better care of myself and I think that helped. As bad as it sucks it is a really good thing. I think of it as your brain adjusting back to center. After it was over I started to be able to think like I did before. Before as in how I was 10 years ago when I cared about more than being able to drink.
