Post Accute Withdrawl Syndrome - PAWS - What do we know so far?

I was doing some research and came up with a few sites that offer some good information on PAWS. I was wondering if there are any other resources that you would recommend & if you could share your experiences on this subject.

Thanks,

NB

PAWS - Post acute withdrawal results from damage to our bodies and nervous systems as a result of using addictive chemicals, and from the psychosocial stresses of coping without alcohol and drugs.

One of the many things that I've learned and which I would've known nothing about if I hadn't found this forum is PAWS. I did not plan to suddenly stop drinking 55 days ago, and after surviving those first 4-5 days of withdrawal and then feeling so much better, I wondered why my brain was so fuzzy and my coordination was off some of the time. Learning about PAWS and that my symptoms were normal and can be expected made me feel at ease. Actually, I've noticed that recently my thinking seems much clearer and I have very few uncoordinated moments.
