Your body is detoxing. It's normal. I was agitated for 3 to 6 months. Woke up feeling just weird. I didn't know what to expect each morning. But it got better. Way better. My body and mind went thru 3 years of changes. It takes time. So I'm coming up on year 5. I'll be honest with you. I don't even remember what a hangover feels like. All I know is, their gone. |

It stands for Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome, which are a set of symptoms which some alcoholics experience in the months following their acute withdrawal phase. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-a...rawal_syndrome |

Hang in there lpg. I felt crummy for days and even a couple of weeks after I stopped I felt blah. Hang on and hang in there. You won't regret it! :) |
