No, but oddly enough I do sometimes have a dream that I am restocking a lquor cabinet...aproximately the size of a Costco.

Quite a bit. Iā€™m so ashamed when it happens

#5

Yes. One time and I was mad at me in the dream! Go figure. Glad it was a dream. Iā€™m sure you are too. Hang in there.

Oh yeah...I go full bore in some of them...drink then to coke then some awful exe from the past that's impossible in real life but seems real in the dream ...then wake up with dread and sweating :sweat_smile:...followed by a gargantuan amount of relief that I'm still sober...happens multiple times a week usually :expressionless::unamused:

Yes I do tooā€¦ but when I first started having I would drink and wake up scared and mad at myselfā€¦ now as time has gone onā€¦ I dream I said no to the drinkā€¦ friends in my fellowship say they will get fewer and farther apart with timeā€¦ they are right..!:+1::+1:

Wow cool. Thanks to know. I woke up so distraught I hope it calms down after a while. I tend to have pretty vivid dreams

my dreams are im trying to get ahold of the drug or trying to use it and canā€™t get to it or do it. The chase. In the beginning they rattled me a little but they are few and far between now. I started a dream journal in the beginning of my sober journey cos i hadnā€™t dreamed in years- dreams were so crazy so real i wasnā€™t used to it. Also I believe dreams are yourself trying to relay a message. Thereā€™s always something similar going on in your dreams that if you keep a journal you can see the patterns.

Gillian Tietz's website and podcast, Sober Powered has a ton of information on getting sober. There is definitely an episode on that.
Yes I have had strange dreams in the beginning and is quite common.
Reach out anytime. Best of luck :blush::pray::sunflower:
