I woke up with a hangover.
I thought I had one but I didn't, how weird. It's my 9th day sober and this morning I woke up, as I have virtually every Sunday last year, wondering if I had done anything silly on Saturday night and just how much I had drunk. Then the penny dropped, I was clean and sober.

Hey I have had a few of them. I wake up and think OMG what did i do that for...hang on i haven't done anything...i'm sober lmao
I had a dream after about the first week of being sober and i was at a party and there was booze all around, in my dream i was aware that i should not be drinking but caved in and had one beer. I then woke up and thought, as above, omg what an idiot then thought hang on thats weird why was i not ill as i am taking antabuse everyday...then worked out that it could not be possible that i had a beer as i would have been sick...then realised it was a dream whilst sitting up in bed double checking, in my mind, that it was actually a dream!
one more, about 2 weeks into being sober i had another dream, i went out did my usual thing of getting drunk ending up at the casino, then normally, in the morning, i would check whether i still had money in my pocket or not! On this occasion i woke up about 5am, half asleep, and launched myself round the bed like a beached whale searching for my tell-tale pile of clothes in a heap which would mean that i had done my usual thing...after spotting that my clothes were relatively well organised from the previous night i went back to sleep safe in the knowledge that it had been a dream.
One thing about being sober is i remember more dreams...cool huh?
Great post December, and who says being sober isn't fun hehe

Drinking dreams are common early in sobriety, less so later on. I also have had false hangovers when I first woke up,only to realize "hey, I'm sober". Its just our bodies and brains messing with us.

eveyone told me this was a good thing i was healing. It still scares the **** out off me. I wake up feeling so guilty. After my first week I had some wild dreams for around a month wake up and the sheets would be soaking wet. DEC. you know im OCD so bet I made the bed 150 times that first month. They get less frequent as time goes on but I had one at like two years and woke up thinking man I jus blew my sobriety. Just your brain reminding you what can happen in a moment of weakness I was told.
