I had so many PAWs mental and physical symptoms I am not sure I can remember them all. But I am 99% better. The only nagging thing is I still have the boaty dizziness/rocking sensation. I think it is still here thanks to me taking benzos as prescribed before I quit drinking and in very early sobriety. But my dizziness does go away occasionally and I can mange it. The worst symptoms that I had were insomnia, depression, anhedonia, numbness and tingling, intrusive thoughts, DP and DR, anxiety, severe health anxiety, feelings of doom, jaw tightness, and probably some I am forgetting. But I am finally having a pink cloud of sorts. Feeling better about my future in spite of climate change and the sad state of our world. I have been feeling really good for the past 6 months or so. So please hang in there. It will get better! A special shout out to Betty, Vinny, Graceful, Dee, Matt, SoberNord and others who supported me through the worst of it.
