PAWS - cranky and tired

So 48 days sober here. But I'm more cranky and so tired! Anyone else have these paws symptoms and if so, when did they end?

Glad you posted.

Yes indeed, I had those symptoms and much more. I was very sick when I quit and it took me months to even out. I do recall around 6 weeks then 100 days seeing noticeable changes. My fatigue persisted for quite awhile, my mood began improving before that 100 day-ish mark I recall. It is a process, and not just an upward trajectory, so we have to be patient.

What are you doing to stay sober and live in recovery? My AA program is central to my sober life.

I had nasty PAWS around 100 days. It was a tough moment.

Mine went when I finally got myself a recovery plan and did the work that I'd previously (if I'm completely honest with myself) been too scared and unwilling to do til I got to the stage where I wanted to just die.

For me that meant getting a sponsor, working the steps and learning to apply them to the various areas of my life.
