Answer:
"Withdrawal" has a number of meanings these days: 1) the retreat of an army; 2) fighting an addiction; 3) taking money from the bank; and 4) taking something away or no longer taking part in something.
In treating "firsts" in The Bible, you have to consider that banks [3] didn't exist for awhile... drugs [2] took a while to become an issue... and while Adam and Eve no doubt fought with each other over the upsetting turn of events in their lives [not to mention that that's what people do], a few generations had to pass before opposing armies [1] could be raised, so one of them could withdraw.
Definition [4], then, seems to be the most likely definition to tackle for "Bible firsts" regarding "withdrawal."
What happened to Adam and Eve "took away" their child-like innocence... their inexperience at living. Their lives changed, abruptly.
They knew they had sinned [broke God's law: I John 3:4] and chose to obey another god. They took what they were forbidden to have [they stole]... and went and tried to hide from God, instead of owning up to it [they failed to repent of it and seek their Creator's Mercy and Forgiveness].
And in their mortal fear and irresponsibility... they "withdrew" from God and no longer took part in a close relationship with Him.
That was the first act of withdrawal in the Bible.
