I know exactly how you feel. The only good thing is actually wake up and realize they’re not true.

Tiaunna, these intense dreams are very common in early sobriety. Even after 17 years of sobriety I have them once in a while.

That exactly what your addiction wants you to do, go to a meeting, call a sober trusted friend, or therapy or all just don’t use. It’s never worth it and never feels the way you think it’s going to. It won’t solve any problems likely make mornings fact. Do anything in the world that you can to feel better but use
