in PAWS stands for Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome. It covers a wide range of symptoms that can continue for up to two years in alcoholics and addicts. It should not be confused with Acute Withdrawal, which is over in roughly 72 - 96 hours, and can be immediately dangerous if not life-threatening in the case of alcoholics and people addicted to certain benzodiazipines, and in other cases make us feel as though we are going to die.
PAWS is too complex to go into in detail here. Treatment includes therapy, nutrition, exercise, medical and emotional support and patience, along with faith in the process. See the "Related Links" below for much more. (Don't confuse them with the ads.)
