All week I have been having nightmares that I am drunk. Waking up in the middle of a panic attack and having to physically et up and go for a walk to settle myself down, convince myself it is just a dream. The no drinking is easy this time, as long as I do not leave the house that is. I walked past a weatherspoons the other morning at 8am and was soooo tempted to go in and have a beer. I somehow managed to walk on by and distract my attention onto something else.
But these dreams,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, crazy crazy dreams, I used to always wake up in serious panic when drinking, now I am doing the same, but am even doing this when L'm not drinking. How weird. Quite emotional to wake up thinking you've started drinking again.

Yes, the drinking dreams can be quite vivid for a while.
They do seem to fade with time tho - I hope they settle down for you soon, Scrub

It's great to hear that you're hanging in there, Scrubbs! I hope the dreams go away soon!

I've never had a drinking dream, only nightmares. It's really great to see you persevering, scrub. Hope they go away soon.

I used to have dreams of beautiful colored bottles lined up on a sunny shelf, and I was on a cruise ship or something, and in the dream I knew I was going to drink on this cruise,-- and I'd wake up with that sick shame feeling.

This did stop after awhile - can't remember how long.
