Like cravings, I find it useful to try and figure out what triggered them. Any anxiety about something that happened? Old memories come up? Anything new or different in the last few days?

Sometimes a Dream is just a Dream, but usually if I give it some thought I have an “Aha!” moment, but I deffo don’t think that using dreams mean you’re going to use.
Thanks MM. My anxiety has been pretty high since I relapsed last month. I think the big thing just now is I'm fixating on how some of my relationships will have to change and how I'm going to manage that. it's always been one of the big things in tackling sobriety for me and is popping up in my dreams. I've been sober before and managed OK with family and friends who still drink, and who I drank with. I think it's the old AV planting doubts that I'm going to be losing things! All I have been doing is gaining so far.......
