PAWS info?
PAWS info?
Can anyone furnish me with a link to paws info please?
I'm currently browsing the SR articles and Google (not sure thats wise but it's all I have) but I'd appreciate links (or experiences if you're willing to share) from people who know what it's really like.
Thanks so much.

This is the best link I know.

For what it's worth not every one experiences PAWs, and it doesn't really kick in for those that do until after 30 days.
I had a few bad days here and there with trouble focusing and confusion, and out of character behaviour, but nothing prolonged

Thank you dee.
As an aside: do you ever sleep? ;-)
It's my belief that PAW's can begin as soon as the acute withdrawal period ends. This varies from individual to individual and also with the type of detox. I have seen it in individuals with only a week of sobriety (or even slightly less) and just exiting detox.
PAWs effects can also range from subtitle to debilitating depending on the individual. Personally I have not seen it go on longer than 18 months, but I have heard of this.

I think If I focus on paws I'll start imagining symptoms and throwing a pity party for myself. I feel a world better than I did a week ago. I'm sure I'll feel even better down the line. I was a wreck before I started drinking anyway. Here's to brighter times

At 24 months sober, I still have symptoms at times (e.g., my misfiring brain just required about 8 tries to type the word "symptoms" LOL), but they interfere with my daily life much less frequently or severely than they used to.
I don't know, I believe PAWS is real. I got hit hard about a month after my detox until almost four months. Reading up on it let me know I wasn't broken, that this too shall pass. I read about it, prepared for it, got hit hard by it and go through it. I think sometimes it still creeps in but not like it was for a while. The only thing to do about PAWS is accept it for a while. Exercise always helped clear my head a bit, especially on the really bad days.
From what I have read length and severity depends on a few factors. DOC and length and severity of use being the main is ones. One thing I have read everywhere though is that it is completely manageable. It is unpleasant but using again only makes it worse.
