Believe it or not, the really long and difficult part is post-acute withdrawal syndrome.
Post-Acute Withdrawal Syndrome (PAWS) can feel like an endless uphill battle for anyone in recovery. But in this episode of Elevation Recovery, hosts Chris Scott and Matt Finch share a treasure trove of strategies to help you get through this challenging phase. PAWS often strikes after the initial detox phase, lingering for weeks or even months, and can make staying sober feel nearly impossible. But don't lose hope; there are effective ways to manage it.
Chris and Matt dive into the 'Key Three': Exercise, Nutrition, and Supplements. These aren't just buzzwords; they're essential tools to rebuild your brain's neurotransmission, reduce inflammation, and restore gut health. Imagine feeling more balanced and less anxious just by tweaking your diet or adding a daily walk to your routine. But it doesn't stop there. The hosts also explore the benefits of amino acid therapy, qigong, cold and heat therapy, meditation, breathing techniques, and even sleep hygiene.
Each of these practices can play a crucial role in your recovery journey. They also emphasize the importance of having a solid support system and leaning on spiritual or religious practices if that resonates with you. The episode wraps up with a list of resources to help you tackle PAWS head-on. Whether you're new to recovery or have been on this path for a while, this episode offers practical advice and emotional support to help you navigate this difficult time.
