Helen and SSOH - I too have had the drinking dreams. I'm on prescription medication to help me sleep which actually encourages vivid dreams, so they've been SO intense and awful.
It's kind of funny - in the dreams when I'm drinking I feel so panicked and shameful. There's no sense of the satisfaction or relief that I sought in drinking for so long. When I wake up, I feel terrified and insanely anxious until I realise that it was just a dream.
It reminds me that there's really nothing left for me in drinking. Whatever fleeting happiness it brought me is gone and I don't think I'll ever be able to ~enjoy~ alcohol again. Someone in AA told me that the dreaming means I've begun to accept this.
Anyway, today is day 57 for me, yay
So coming up to Day 60/my 2 month anniversary soon. I want to celebrate or treat myself! But I'm not sure what yet. If anyone has any suggestions or wants to share how you've celebrated milestones I'd love to hear.
As always, sending good wishes and strength to my fellow classmates.
