Hi all. Day 14 and still happily sober.
Wow. Just had an afternoon nap and just had the textbook recovery dream. I dreamed I was sitting at my computer with several bottles of vodka and had drunk about half of one. I was horrified with myself, was dissapointed, it was 15 mins to an AA meeting and I dreamed that I was trying to get myself to tip the rest away and get to the meeting but couldn't because I knew I'd have to start the 14 days all over again.
In the AA book, Living Sober, it describes exactly this and says it is very common to have these dreams in early recovery. I'd not read that page for many, many weeks so did not directly trigger this but it was so vivid and the feeling of horror and disgust at myself was so incredibly real. The feeling of relief when I woke up about five minutes ago and realised it was a dream was just incredible.
Bit blown away by that experience. Anybody else had or having these?
