Craving wise, I’ve been a lot better than I thought. 2 months with a handful of times I wanted a drink. But in the past week I’ve been having vivid dreams of dreams of being on benders/re-living past regrets. I’ve been jonesing for a drink. So bad. I can smell it everywhere all of a sudden and it’s all I can think about. “Just one. No one has to know. I’ll go straight home after.” I’m avoiding walking past bars. I thought I was good and this is a humble reminder I’m definitely an addict. This week is wearing me down…..

You are doing the right by talking about it. Many of us experience "drunk dreams". For me, they can be terribly vivid and leave me pretty shaken when I wake up.
For me, the first thing I ask myself is: Is that what I want to go back to? To me, those dreams have become a warning sign. I am one drink away from that life again. I don't want that.
Keep talking about it with people who have a solid program. And for today, just don't pick up.

Thank you!!! That helps tremendously. I feel that exact way as far as it being a warning.
