Wakefield

I've been going back and forth between sobriety and relapse for the past few years. Every time I decide to give up alcohol I'm always in for crazy nightmares. Each dream lasts an hour or less and it's exhausting. I'm guessing many others have experienced this. Any advice from people with similar experiences?

I think they're pretty common, at least for a week or two...but they do fade

It was my experience that alcohol and drugs shut down my dreams, and when I stopped using there was a lot of "catching up" to do. It's one of those things that gets better with time--after you work out all those repressed bad emotions, you can process the ordinary day-to-day stuff.
