I had a dream I had a glass of wine and I was so upset with myself. I remember feeling so anxious 
I’m glad subconsciously we are thinking the same thing. Anyone else have dreams like these ?

I did, just last week. I’ve been sober a month now. I dreamt I was drinking on a street at night and couldn’t find my house. It was pretty upsetting. I couldn’t walk in the dream. I guess it’s all part of the process. You know, our minds are adjusting to a very different kind of living and addiction changes the brain so much. I was so happy to wake up though and it made me more grateful to be sober and it was also a great reminder of why I’m doing this. It reminded me to be careful too. I hope this helps a little

So so thankful that I’m sober! I woke up this morning so stinking tired and I can’t imagine if I had drank last night how much more tired I would’ve been!

Yes, everything’s better sober, even annoying things. It’s worth the effort.

Yes I do. I had a dream like that a couple nights ago. I always feel unsettled by those dreams while they’re happening, then I feel relief when I wake up sober.
For me personally I think they signal that I’m grappling with something internal. I’m not sure exactly what it is but I take it as a signal that I need to be extra attentive and diligent with my daily recovery tasks (checkin calls with people from my recovery group, meditation, prayer, exercise, quality time with my spouse).

Yes! I woke up out of dead sleep almost as if it was a nightmare today. Dreaming that I had drank and woke up hungover (in the dream) and that I had started drinking and blacked out and was being told I had drank tons. So scary and a reminder I do not want that to be reality.
Fell back asleep after that and had what I felt was a walk down memory lane of dreams seeing myself as an outsider of younger me drunk in multiple different situations. Makes me feel icky and sad for younger me who was clearly just hurting and coping in what ways I knew how.

That’s good! Didn’t even think about maybe struggling with something. I do have two trips coming up. I do however feel confident. I already told them I not drinking and they are super supportive.

Ugh. I hate that. I’m learning to forgive myself and honestly to love who I was. It’s hard.
