Lately I been having dreams of me drinking and something bad always happening and I keep waking up question why I keep dreaming of me drinking again? Has anyone ever had this happen? Its been going on for about a week for me now.

Yes I did a lot the first few weeks and have the occasional dream now. The ones I had in the beginning were really vivid and would wake up panicked and then relieved that it didn’t happen.

Yeah same I would wake up a bit panic, but I am glad it didn’t happen
That’s right brother. Just a dream. What you do when you are awake is what matters. Diseases attacks spiritual, physical, and mental. I try to do something each day to improve all 3.
Usually do a quick work out and also speak to my high power and say my what I’m grateful for

Thanks brotha
I had one once where I was relapsing (and I knew it). I called my sponsor and he laughed knowingly. We all have them and they are scary af but they help keep us on the beam.

When you have FED your mind and body So much ALCOHOL for so long. It take a period of time for that to change. EMBRACE THE PROCESS OF RECOVERY. remember that it will be a process of time for you to get Better. Don't run from it. EMBRACE it SQUARELY. And you will make it to the other SIDE. YOU CAN DO THIS. OH. BTW. TODAY I'M IN YEAR 36. RECOVERY is real

Yes. It was the worse feeling the first time it happened I really thought I relapsed when the woke up. I think we may all the then here and there. Better a dream than actually doing it.

I’ve experienced them and they are horrible . I’ve had a couple relapses and the drinking dreams always hit me after . I’ve woke up in a panic thinking I’ve lost everything all over again and it’s so scary and feels so real . They go away the more time you have in sobriety . But they always remind me how powerless I am over alcohol

( anyone or anything)
Yeah I stopped drinking about 2.5 years ago and I still occasionally have dreams like that. They used to bother me a bit but now if I have one I don't think much of it.

I’m having mine because it’s summer break and I get bored easily staying at home. Alcohol was my go to for boredom so I think my
Mind is reminding me how bad it would be !
Yeah I drank out boredom too, glad I don’t no more and plan to keep it that way

I would just wake up thinking why, but guessing cuz of early recovery
I think it's common to dream about things that were big in your life..both good and bad...traumatic things especially.
Id guess the dreams will likely fade in intensity and frequency over time.
