Well. PAWs seemed real enough to me I'm afraid.
This article really helped me a lot.

Before I read it I really thought I was going insane. It gave me the push I needed to find the willingness to actually do some of the things that had been suggested to me. And when I did those things I did start to feel MUCH better.
The article is not saying PAWs excuses us from responsibility for working on our recovery. It actually makes some very pertinent suggestions as to what that work might look like.
