PAWS - Stuttering and absent minded
Hi,
Don't know if this is PAWS or something else.
I've noticed my speech in the last few days is picking up. One person commented that I sounded exited. I was not. I don't feel anxious. I on annual leave and nothing else major is kicking off - IE no other major issues to cause stress even if I'm not feeling it,
however
just that this is occurring has my mind racing tonight. I'm also thinking today and yesterday I missing thing - information or forgetting to do small tasks within seconds of thinking of them. EG going shops and forgetting why, being told by a neighbour that he just bought timber to fix a bench and asking within 30 seconds why he has new timber in his ute. (He was amused) but I'm not usually so absent of mind.
Is this a common thing. ... will it get worse or go away with a day or is it not even alcohol related???
Thanks

We all go through different rates of recovery when we stop drinking. Our body and our mind go through a healing process.....especially our brain. This is totally normal ....I would rather be absent minded than having to deal with all of the other consequences of a drinking bender!
Yeah I've had a few moments like that too. Forgetting words, forgetting what people have told me a lot, not being sure whether I made appointments or not, emotions all over the place.
I'm nearly four months sober now and it seems to be easing a bit, but comes and goes still.
Hang in there !
