Good Morning, I was googling some of my symptoms I had overnight and came across this forum.
So thank you for having me!
I have had my struggles with sobriety. I had almost a year and a half then I relapsed and haven’t been able to get a good amount of sobriety until now - again.
My last drink took me to a place I never want to go back to. This is the first time I have truly feared alcohol in years.
Until today
I had a dream that I was drinking, a lot and straight. It was gross, to me. There were other parts that were included in the dream, such as my son and working.
I have had these dreams before and have woken up with an “emotional hangover”, this is the first time I have woken up with an actual hangover. Intense migraine, upset stomach, lethargic and dizziness. I was unhappy that my brain went to - hair of the dog to fix this. I am very happy that I didn’t actually drink, yet feel very upset, that I feel the emotional and physical effects. I am listening to my body today and, it seems to be an in bed Saturday.
I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced these dreams as intensely as I did last night?

I had a dream similar and it affected me beyond measure.
I deal with anger and my dream took me to a new level.
I woke up sweating and trembling and i realized that i went from toxic dreams to dangerous dreams and waking feelings
I had to tell my group and my sponsor.
I’m working this also
It is my understanding and experience that these dreams decrease in frequency and intensity the longer you are sober…

While that is true, it must also be reminded to myself that each bad habit in working on has its own sober living
The more i release myself from anger the more i UNINTENTIONALLY go thru detox of that addiction of anger
ANGER addiction withdrawals are hell to go thru
For me is the same as alcohol DTS
