Hey folks! I just hit 40 days no booze but on a handful of those days (around 5 or so) I’ve woken up and felt almost exactly like I used to waking up hungover for 30 minutes to an hour. Haven’t been able to identify any other factors that could contribute (I drink tons of water, healthy sleep, good food etc.) so its really surprising when it happens. Almost like I woke up hungover for so long that my brain/body is kicking into hangover mode out of habit. Anyone else experience this? Maybe some form of post acute withdrawal syndrome (PAWS)? I did a pretty gentle taper before I quit but had been drinking a six pack of 7% beer or a bottle of wine daily on average for like the last 4 years.

With you there buddy. I get them. Strangely enough most of mine happen when my wife has been drinking the night before. 
I’ve always just looked at it as PAWS, yes. Not a lot else I can say, your keeping hydrated and eating. Which is good.
Well done on the 40 days.
