PAWS: Post-Acute Withdrawal Syndrome

The next time you stop off at the bar after work and have that drink. Ask yourself 'Do I need this?' When you get home and the first thing you do is grab that beer from the refrigerator, mix a drink, or light up a marijuana joint look at it in your hand and ask, 'Do I need this?'If the answer is YES. You need to read this book. The first part of the book is educating everyone on Post-Acute Withdrawal Syndrome (P.A.W.S.) and the symptoms. The second part of the book is in Josh's words. How he was feeling and the affect that being an addict has had on his life. His message is strong and needed today. We are all addicted in some way. Maybe not to drugs and deal with substance abuse but we like the high we get when we accomplish a task, get a new project or when something special occurs in our lives. We do not see the dopamine rush, we do not recognize the emotional and physical changes because we do not see them as that. We accept them as feelings because we have achieved something or received an unexpected gift. Question your doctor on what drugs you are taking and if they are necessary. Learn the side effects of all drugs. I have learned a lot while putting this book together. I hope you read it and learn a lot more about how your body reacts to normal reactions, drugs, and alcohol. Listen to what Josh has to say and learn about P.A.W.S. Post-Acute Withdrawal Syndrome
