I’m coming up on my 1 year anniversary of being clean in less than a week. I am noticing a spike in cravings, using dreams, thoughts and desires to use, and an increase in willingness to throwing it all away just to feel good again, just to feel that high. Has anyone else noticed a spike right before a huge milestone? What did you do differently to cope with it?

I'm only 5 weeks in and then dreams are like every night currently. It doesn't make me crave when I'm awake, however I do my readings and pray everyday, serenity prayer!

Hi Billie, I got cravings leading up to my one year milestone. If I’m having a craving I usually have to check myself, make sure I’m doing all I can to support my sobriety, and I also focus on mindfulness. The mindfulness practices get me in the moment, and I’m able to separate myself from feelings and cravings. I’m coming up on three years and i just started having drinking dreams this week, so I’m getting more plugged in this week. I also talk about it with trusted people. Ultimately I know I won’t do anything to compromise my sobriety, but the dreams and cravings can be scary. Good luck, you can do this!
I had a dream that I relapsed
I was anxious going into my 1 year mark. I wanted it to be over. I recognize it as an achievement but I also wanted it to just be any other Wednesday.
