PAWS (Post-Acute Withdrawal Syndrome) is just a catch-all term for a collection of withdrawal-like symptoms which persist or recur beyond the normal period for acute withdrawal. Not everyone experiences it. If you're 6 months in and haven't noticed anything, then it's probably safe to say you have nothing to worry about, except perhaps a case of self-induced PAWS caused by researching it too much!

There's one go-to article regarding PAWS that's often linked. While it doesn't fit my personal experience of PAWS all that well, it covers the essentials:

Oops, I see the article was already linked while I was laboriously typing out my post. Oh well!

Well done on your sober time!
