Lately i have been having dreams that im smoking weed and drinking an energy drink. In my dream Im mad because I have to start counting back from day one…
I was just wondering if it happens to some of you sometimes?
My boyfriend tells me its normal. And i think he’s right but it happens a lot lately. I wake up happy that i didnt do it and at the same time i wonder if its my brain playing tricks on me.
Right now is a stressful moment in my life with my new job and kids going back to school…its the first time i deal with all of these things sober…i think its maybe all of this that makes me have thoses dreams.
I am 4 months sober from weed and 20 days from energy drinks…
What are your thoughts and experiences with this kind of situation…
i’m so sorry that you are dealing with these weird dreams. i know it can be frustrating to have these but such a relief when you wake up addiction free.
it is totally normal to have these dreams. if you get a moment do a search on the threads for dreams to see that you are not alone. stress can cause your brain to crave your DOC and subconsciously bring about these dreams.
hopefully you can find ways to calm yourself in this stressful time. i do hope your dreams go away soon so you can have a restful sleep.
wanted to say congrats on your addiction free time! keep up the amazing work
Mine wasnt weed but alcohol…i got ALOT of those dreams in the first few months, still
do now and again, try and think of it as every time u wake up from one and realise it was only a dream that u strengthen your sobriety each time a year down the line i only get occasional dreams now but i welcome them because they remind me to be vigilant
