Wow, not surprising we are both experiencing PAWS!! I'm not wishing it upon you, but I can't help but say it feels good to know I'm not alone and that this may be "normal", even though it feels like insanity.

Congrats on you clean time!!!!! HOORAY!! You're doing great. I'm sorry you have to deal with that pain. Hang in there. Perhaps there's a non-addictive, non-medicating solution for that in your future.

We'll get through this together.

XOXO

Have a great day,
