A dream has saved me
I'm sure this will come off sounding BEYOND wacky, but this is what happened to me yesterday.
I called my best-friend and was basically preparing him for the fact that I just don't see my not drinking being a continuing event. I told him that I'm sure that I'll drink again and that I feel it coming closer and closer.
Last night, I had a dream. And this must sound odd, but I really think my mother (who died six years ago) was talking to me through it. I dreamt that a car full of my relatives arrived in my driveway and proceeded to have an intervention for me. I dreamt that when they pulled up, I was so relieved that I would be getting help, that I was eager to hear their words. I dreamt that I was then sent to a rehab centre and was calmly putting away my clothes, knowing that I was on the right path (why do my clothes ALWAYS center in my dreams?! lol). In my dream I felt such peace, love and hope. I woke up half-way through the dream and touched the bracelet that my mother had given me her last christmas (she always told me that when i touch it, I'm getting a hug from her) and I whispered, "thank you, mom"...and went back to sleep. That's when my dream continued and I knew that I'm at my happiest not drinking.
Just wanted to share.

That was very beautiful. I think your relatives did have an intervention for you in heaven.
My son is in rehab now after crashing his sister's car in his 2nd DUI in 3 months (2nd occured 5 days after getting PBJ for the 1st). I hope something like this happens to him. I know he has dreams but usually they are of jail or of accidentally killing someone.

That's incredible! I have dreams about drinking not ones where I'm being saved from the disease. I like your dream better and I would call that a "sweet" dream for a sweet girl. (Always tell me son, "have sweet dreams.")
