Had a dream the other day that I drank before a UA at clean and sober housing, and I remember thinking how stupid I was. Why didn’t I wait until after they UA’d me. When I woke up, I laughed at my old way of thinking, and thanked my higher power for his saving grace

My problem was not alcohol, but yes. 8 years sober and 3 out of 4 of my dreams include drugs. :face_with_raised_eyebrow: I wake up tell myself I'm grateful to be sober and play the tape.

Haha. Just posted about this too! I am actually often drinking or doing drugs in dreams. I think it’s my subconscious brain’s way of making sense of the dream not making sense. Haha. But last night in my dream I was upset that I drank. It was definitely a sign that my subconscious brain is changing and becoming more sober-minded.

Yes. I had a substance abuse therapist say to me once, “do you think normal drinkers dream about alcohol?” Solid point!

I have been having drug dreams lately and I agree that they do seem so real that I have to wake up and make sure I haven’t relapsed. My counselor let me know that they will occur and then continue to pop up even after having plenty of clean time so hang in there girl you aren’t the only one
