This is my first, and last, educated sobriety lifestyle change.
Been there, not going back.
Sounds like you're sleeping ok, just waking up early.
At least you are waking up sober.
I use the 478 breathing technique to whined down.
Way to go. I experienced pretty much the exact same PAWS or whatever as you.
My anxiety has quelled steadily since i quit.
I now understand why folks relapse after 1 to 12 months or longer. The anxiety wears on you.
Knowing this is a huge part of my recovery. Thanks to SR.
