Night Sweats and PAWS

I got really serious about getting sober on October 13, went 5 weeks without a drink, drank the evening on Nov 16th and have been sober since, so basically I have been sober for 12 weeks, with 1 (4 hour long) slip.

Back in October I sweat at night for about 2 weeks, then it went away. The past 2 nights I have woke up drenched again, multiple times a night. Could this be PAWS?

How old are you anchor? I get drenching night sweats once in a rare while, I've been in some sort of pre-menopause state for a while I guess, I'm 45.

I've been getting them last couple of nights as well. I'm on an SSRI which I understand can cause them, so I'm not sure if it's the PAWS or the meds doing it to me. But from what I understand, night sweats can be a symptom of PAWS.

Of course, if you are concerned about it, I'd talk with your doctor.
