How long after quitting drinking will your brain start to feel rebalanced? I have so much anxiety from quitting drinking? When will that subside?
Hi Abby, PAWS can last up to 6-9 months at the longest. The key is to start new habits that help you cope with anxiety. My favorites for anxiety are gratitude lists, meditation, mindfulness, and box breathing.
I’ve heard 90-100 days for your brain to start making new connections. That seems about right. It’s another reason they say the 90 meetings in 90 days is so important.
They all are right!!! It really comes down to how much you drank all the time and for how many years you did it for before you quit… medically it can take longer than 2 years for your brain to be normal again , Honestly… alcohol shrinks the blood vessels in your brain and it causes the brain tissue to turn grey and that’s where all your problems will happen and it flows down your body
