Day 51, Post-Acute Withdrawl Syndrome, symptoms

Lately, I've been navigating the rocky terrain of Post-Acute Withdrawal Syndrome (PAWS). The symptoms are relentless—feeling spacey, like my mind's been wrapped in fog.  I'm also feeling this weird amorphous sense of uncertainty (call it anxiety I guess), and some tremor in my hands.  Despite this, I'm pushing through, attending online AA meetings on intherooms.com, finding comfort in the digital community and the shared journey towards recovery.

 

On the professional front, my current employer has been dragging their feet about my return. It’s frustrating, especially considering the damage to my personal work integrity while employed there. It’s become clear that I need to find new employment, as I'm certain I'm getting the heave-ho from my current employer.

 

Meanwhile, I'm setting up a home office, which is a mix of excitement and stress. Fixing a broken shower has added to my plate. Doing all these things without alcohol feels very strange to me, yet here I am, hanging in there, still sober.

 

Just taking it one day at a time. Thank you for following my journey. Your support means the world to me.

Stay strong and stay hopeful.

Gabriel
