Last night I had a dream that I had one beer (a really good IPA), and didn’t count it against my days sober because it was only one. I didn’t go to the blackout place. Just had one and thought it’s no big deal. The reality is, although I wish I could just have one beer or one cocktail lime normal people get to enjoy, sooner or later it’ll turn into the binge drinking, the blackouts, the forgetting, the guilt, the excuses and lies. I’m glad it was only a dream.

I am with you. That is my issue. One beer can lead me to a bad place. Strong strong.

I’ve been consistently dreaming about taking drugs all week, even drugs and forms of ingestion that I’ve never done before… I’ve had dreams of making drugs, of getting arrested for drugs, and all sorts of things. It’s been a week today of being completely straight, I’ve stopped drinking and smoking too and I’m sure it’s the brain’s way of dealing with such a transition. I’m so happy not to be though, and honestly the best things you can ever do is not harm your body with alcohol or other substances so you should be proud and grateful not to be putting yourself through all the torture… I can say honestly from experience (this is my second and final round of going straight) that it gets much much easier, stay strong. The other people on this post are right as well, one will always lead to more and it’s just not worth it. We’ve got you, we’re all on this together.

44 days sober and lately I have been having very vivid dreams about drinking. What a relief to know I didn’t when I wake up. One time when I woke up, I really thought I did. Was in the process of grabbing my phone to hit the reset button when I realized it was just a dream. But DAMN! Some of my dreams seem so real. Its crazy!
