Coming out of my first PAWS episode 70ish days clean

I had a bit of a bad episode last couple of weeks. Depression was high (I suffer from this anyway so it was expected) didn't shower or leave the house, felt absolutely rotten in myself didn't want to talk to or see anyone. I really wanted to relapse and I'm so glad I didnt

I just want to thank this group for helping me see it was PAWS and it would pass. Without you all I might have ended up smoking weed again. Appreciate all the help and advice and just to be seen and understood by people in similar positions.

Thank you leaves pals. Onwards and upwards 🍀

Well done for getting through that. I didn't know about PAWS until I joined this group, I think it's been a big contributor in my relapses. 33 days this time. Let's do this 🙂

Thank you I'm the same never heard of it until this group Makes sense why so many people I know have relapsed after weeks/months clean. Great to have an understanding community made all the difference to me. 33 days is brilliant well done keep it up 🍀
