"Recovery of Function with Abstinence? A Message of Hope
There is even less research available to help determine whether sustained abstinence from alcohol and MJ results in recovery of cognitive functions, although findings to date are hopeful. For example, Hanson et al. (2011) reported that having greater days of abstinence from alcohol and drugs at a 10-year follow-up was associated with improved executive functioning, even controlling for baseline executive functioning and education."

Kurz: Nach längerer Abstinenz können sich die Schäden zurückbilden.
Eine hoffnungsvolle Botschaft !!

Schönes Wochenende!
