I'm going on 5 months Clean and I still have those crazy drug and alcohol dreams But the good thing about it is just a dream we don't have to act out on the dreams we just gotta do the next right thing You will be just fine Just keep talking about it if it bothers you to the point that is terrifying you

Yeah they freak me out too.

I embrace them, one that I wake up and realize hey .. I'm sober! I used to wake up dreading what I had done the night before as I would black out a lot.

An old-timer told me "If it was a dream embrace it as it's a freebie but usually it's a nightmare. And we need to remember those to help keep us sober."

Totally normal. Good reminders of why you are sober. :heart:

Dreams tap into the subconscious. So those things may have been thought about subconsciously by you without really noticing it. It’s perfectly normal.

I have 19 months and I still have drug dreams. They are totally normal. I don’t even get upset anymore.

I still have them once in a while at 5.5 years they are still scary.:scream:

I have using dreams every once in a while. It’s interesting. I usually feel like im getting drunk/high, and dream that im acting in ways I regret leading to shame.

I had one the other night it was really frustrating they always leave me feeling really anxious to get high when I wake up . I hate those dreams but it’s just a dream (more like a nightmare to me)
