Dreams of using?

Anyone else still have dreams of when they are using after being clean?? The dreams would be very vivid down to taste and everything. I wake up feeling like I had used too but only just for a second… Im sure its the same with alcohol.

This helped me to adress them, but like @erntedank mentioned there are normal as well in early stage of recovery as later on.

In early sobriety, I would have dreams of being around alcohol, and just as I was grabbing a beer or a glass of something, I would wake up shaken.

I took the feeling as a freebie premonition of how I would react if I had actually imbibed that drink.

Eventually this pattern of dreams went away, maybe by 6 months or so?
