The non linear nature of the PAWS symptoms is nerve racking but I fight on. In general I am in a much better place than I was a few months ago but I have to keep packing my patience as this is a long arduous journey. I am so grateful to SR and all the people here. SR has been one of my most valued tools in my sobriety.
