First drinking dream in a while
I'll be 6 years this June 1st but it's crazy how quick my brain can go back to trying to rationalize drinking. As soon as the Ohio stay in place order was issued one of my first thoughts was actually I have no where to be I could get some whiskey and relax for a couple weeks - no harm no foul. Not that I need it to relax but it's that sneaky voice that still creeps up from time to time.
But even now when I think about it my idea of 'relaxing' is still a steady flow from the time I get up to when I go to sleep - there is no 'single glass' in my mind anywhere. Last night I had my first drinking dream in a quite a long time so apparently I have not completely shaken the notion yet.
No on an edge or anything but just wanted to pop in and share. It's still kind of nuts to me how quickly I can try to rationalize it. Stay strong out there everyone.

Hi Kiya
sorry I missed your post.
These are tough times - but I still belive thoughts are thoughts and dreams are dreams - its what we do in response to those things thats the true measure of our recovery
Congrats on 6 years - that's awesome

Yea, its crazy. I had a dream recently that I was enjoying a hurricane(I love fu fu drinks, or used to I should say I guess) with some folks and next thing I know I was sneaking into the next room doing shots. Exactly what I did at parties and such in real life while I was drinking. I took it as my subconscious's way of telling me that one drink will put me back in my place. Congrats on 6 years by the way. Crazy how the notion can sneak back in.

Six years sober is great! Don't attach too much meaning to the drinking dreams. It's just your subconscious working things out. It's just a dream. As long as you don't drink over it you'll be alright.
