Check in- it will be two weeks sober tomorrow. Last night I had my first drinking dream. Iāve often heard of this experience during AA meetings. I really didnāt understand them or understand how the person felt who is having the drinking dream. Now I understand. I woke up feeling like I drank and I felt so guilty. Gross! The dream was not fun at all and I am so grateful that I am still sober and it was nothing but a dream.

Hi, my name is Melissa and Iām new here. Was just recommended this thread by @Dazercat (thank you!).
Iām 4 days sober today. My vice is cannabis. Iāve basically been constantly high since the pandemic started (after a 10 year break but 30 years of usage).
Last night was rough, which is why I downloaded this app. Wicked bad insomnia. Today was better than yesterday, although I broke down crying a couple times and was very tempted to numb the pain. Decided to open the app today to seek solace.
A friend suggested I drink some wine but I worry Iād just be replacing one unhealthy addiction for another.
Anyway, just checking in. Hopefully tomorrow will be better and I can get some sleep tonight. Weed withdrawal is no joke!
Thank you for reading.

Well I donāt know about counting my timer right after my last drink because technically Iām not sober right away. Anyway, itās not that important I guess. It has been over 24 hours since my last sip, but I probably havenāt been sober for a full 24 hours. Pretty close though. So Iāll say midnight tonight is day one (or one full day sober) .
It really does suck having to keep starting again.
But at least Iām working hard at it.
ODAAT. Soon they will add up to more.

Day 6 for me.
Yesterday was a bit of a struggle as a family member died. I went to see my dad who was sat in the sun having a few cold beers. He dosnt know Iāve stopped drinking. We talked about old times while I sipped my fresh orange and lemonade with loads of ice. I enjoyed it.
That urge to have just one was tapping me on the shoulder but I flicked it off.
That was my hardest moment this week.
Onwards and upwards then .
Hoping you all enjoy or battle through today.

Coffee. I need to write a biography of myself as part of the intake into the new group therapy dealing with abuse as a child. Have to do it today. Now. Iāve been postponing it quite a bit. Letās do this! Have as good a day as you all can friends. One day at a time. Sober and clean. Love from Luna and me.
@Leveller Sorry for your loss Col. Congrats on not giving in to addiction.

Hey Scott, youāve been at this a lot longer than I, but I have found a rekindled love for soccer. That was something I was good at and passionate about before I started really hitting the bottle at around age 13. 32 years old now. Anyways, it has helped me kind of adapt to my new sober identity. Started coaching and what not again as well. Iām just kinda spitballing but maybe just doing something that you love to do and making it a larger part of your life could help. Have a good day bro!

Welcome!
Had the same issues, just so you know if you canāt remember from your last time quitting, sleep does improve. It took me about 2 months and it felt forever at the time but worth the wait. Good luck with it
