1 month sober today guys. For the last damn time. God knows i've been here many times but I need to stay on top of the game this time. I'm not going back to that dark place. I think Paws has got a bit of a hold on me because i'm feeling exhausted even after having slept 8 hours. Any tips on how to beat it?
Love you guys x

One month sober is terrific.
PAWS isn't really a disease, but a group of symptoms that seem to affect some people in recovery. Your best bet is to talk to your dr if the fatigue continues. Keeping a good balance in your life should help, too.

Congrats on a month Dim
I think it's pretty common - I wouldn't even ascribe it to PAWs.
I was pretty tired for the first 30 days - I really underestimated the toll my drinking had taken on my body, I think?
It got progressively better - I hope your fatigue will too.
Like Anna says tho, if you're concerned see your Dr

I have some PAWS at 17 months clean.
I slept about 6 hours last night. That is good for me. I took 2 naps today. 20 minutes...while watching tv. One before the gym and one after.
If you can...enjoy naps. They are relaxing.
For me, PAWS is a motivator to not drink because it has gotten better each day. I never want to experience that hell on earth again
At this point my PAWS may be experiencing life normal and am not used to it.
I drank pretty hard for the last 15 years.
My current symptoms are minor obsessive thoughts, anxiety, and spacey feelings sometimes.
Really used to be so much more. I was living in a mental horror show for a good while.
Physically, I have been working out since before I quit. My health seems solid. My son told me I was buffed this morning. That felt great.
So stay clean. Change up your life to be content sober.
Thank you.
