Ok this may not be an issue for anyone else but I feel very slow like I have an iphone 7 and for almost 20 mins I was trying to figure out where the ear phone jack was well hello iPhone 7 doesn’t have an ear phone jack. Boy am I slow 
anyway, since I’m staying at the hospital with my girlfriend because of her surgery I go home every day to do some house work and yesterday when I get there I put dog food in the dog bowls well hello the dogs have been kenneled since the 7th. Then I’m looking all over the house for them. I think my brain went on vacation and forgot to tell me. O good grief. Is it me or does this happen to others and if so how long does it last?

It’s part of PAWS post acute withdrawal syndrome) Brain foggyness (cognitive impairment) lasted a month for me but it differs for each person.

I’m on day 43 and it’s starting to get better. It’s no longer a constant foggy haze, just an occasional day here and there when I can’t remember things I talked about minutes earlier. For some, PAWS can last for months (and months). Remember it’s not necessarily and bad thing. Your brain is relearning how to work sober.
