7 months sober now, I keep having dreams that I'm drunk and either ending up in jail or just on the run from my family and friends. I wake up in cold sweats but get a huge relief when I recognize my surroundings. Is this normal?
Yeah those Nasty dreams come and go occasionally the feel soo real they scare the you know what right out of you I think it's just part of our recovery I still have them from time to time and I've been clean and sober for over five years in the end when I wake up I try to figure out why it happened what triggered it but still get out of bed knowing I'm still sober is a huge relief

I stopped for 9 months the last time and I had the same dreams after a few months. It's great to wake up and realize it was just a dream. I hear this happens to a lot of people after they've been sober for a while.

They trip me out, I wake up drenched in sweat. Then relize its a cruel joke of a dream and get huge relief it wasn't real. Maybe it's are brain reminding us of the bullshi* we did to ourselves to help us remember why we're staying sober.
