Hello Cusper - I see we have close quit dates I am just a month ahead of you! I drank nightly 9yrs and 'just' on weekends for another 9. My PAWS has pretty much gone as expected and I'm 5 months sober now. The first couple months I could easily tell the improvements from 1 week to the next. Nowadays it still sucks obviously, but the lows are Not as low and its easier to catch myself when they happen. (IF I am doing things correctly, i.e. avoiding stressful situations, exercising, AA meetings, staying busy etc..) I keep on hoping the symptoms will just 'stop' at 6 months, or 9 months, or whatever, but I think we both know it doesn't work like that. They will keep diminishing over time until they are negligible.
The article mentioned by DG0409 "PAWS...Why We Don't Get Better Overnight" was very important to me in early sobriety. Everyone should read all of the posts people sent in on that forum, they all tend to confirm that improvement is continuous and gradual
.
Keep it up!!!
