  • This is just my story about dealing with alcohol withdrawal and mainly Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome. I mention how I notice it and some of the ways it comes up with me as well as what I do to deal with it.
    This is not the article I referenced in the video, but rather a more in depth one I found....hope this helps others like it did for me :)

    PAWS is for real, I'm about 17 months sober now and still working through symptoms. I also have an incredibly stressful job which doesn't help. Try and focus on good nutrition with whole foods and avoiding sugar and caffeine. Get some light exercise when you can, stay hydrated, and sleep often ;)

      Hey Ed...Congrats on 17 Months... I cant wait to be there myself...it is good to hear from other people and to see it is not just me feeling these symptoms and that it is possible to survive it :)

      @@SoberDJ you certainly will survive it, and symptoms will improve in time. Stay patient and keep doing the right things. I drank most of my life, so I always remind myself that my body is going to need a lot of time to undo all that damage and get used to operating without a regular dose of alcohol.

    How are you now Eric? Are you done with PAWS?

      I think there are some things with paws that pop up every now and then but for the most part I feel pretty far removed from it 1 year in.
