I am 7.5 years into my recovery and I still have very lucid dreams. Does anyone else struggle with the same thing? How do you cope with it?

I'll try prayer and share my experiences.
I had a using dream yesterday, 1st one in a longtime, it felt so real, but it didn't itch the scratch. I was so angry when i woke up.
I'm going to pray for my guardian angels for help

I rarely have them when I do I always wake up before I use

Sorry to hear that. I am always trying to find my way home. And then trying to find the paraphernalia I need. I hate it

Yes that's how I feel when I wake up. I can never complete the cycle and I wake up so frustrated. Even after 7 years

I got three years and I still have them. I expose the disease and talk about it.

When I dream that im using, the dreams are very real, the feeling the istant guilt. I wake up feeling so relieved that it was just a dream

I just had one of those dreams last night. Usually I am just an observer watching people drink. This dream I was actually drunk. I woke up and said to myself it is only a dream and I am sober. I have 6 years of sobriety.
