It only CAN last for two years. Other sources say as little as a few months.
It's not a set in stone certain to happen to you thing anyways. I'd just put it out of your mind or at least in a dark, little-used corner so that you'll just know if you're feeling a little wonky one day in six months, "Hey, maybe that's just that PAWS thing I read about back in May." Then come on here and talk about it or go to a meeting or call someone and talk about it and work toward a solution if necessary. IF it's ever even a problem for you. Us early recovering alcoholics have enough to worry about without starting to fret over things that might not even happen to us.
