Genessee,

I can totally relate. I have more time sober, but lately I have been having what I call "alcohol-mares" like nightmares but involving alcohol.

For instane, I awoke this morning feeling quite anxious as a result of these dreams. But, I remind myself "this too shall pass" and I then do some mental exercises to help clear my thoughts and I prepare for the day.

The important thing is I KNOW I SHALL NOT DRINK. My subconsciounsce is dealing with the cravings while I am sleeping. That, IMO, is a good sign. The addict voice is being shut down while I am awake and that is its only out at this point. LIke with my conscious mind, it will soon realize that impacting my dreams has no effect and then it will quiet down just as it did in my conscious thoughts.
