"Chronic substance use can change the molecular, cellular, and neurocircuitry in the brain that affect emotions and behaviors and can persist after the acute withdrawal symptoms end.
Alcohol: Protracted withdrawal from alcohol is actually well documented. Common symptoms include anxiety, hostility, irritability, depression, mood changes, fatigue, insomnia, problems concentrating and thinking, decreased sex drive, and unexplained physical pain.

Sleep studies suggest that sleep problems can persist 1-3 years after alcohol consumption stops."#Recovery #AddictionRecovery /americanaddictioncenters.org/withdrawal-timelines-treatments/post-acute-withdrawal-syndrome
