First drinking dream / 1 week sober
So now it is 7 days behind alcohol-free, and to me it is an achievement, a great step towards the goal.
So I had a dream about drinking, where I had a backpack full of some kind of purple cider and one beer, kind of hilarious really, I wrote it up on a journal. The thing is that many people get the jitters about dreams related to drinking or cigarette smoking for an ex-smoker. I think they are harmless and do not mean any craving, it's just that the brain is making adjustments and some habits are re-written in the mind, maybe it is something like that.
Nevertheless, feeling quite good, besides little paws and tired. Have a nice day and stay away from that damned poison.

I've had lots of drinking dreams and I think they are a normal part of recovery. They did scare me at first, but as time goes on I have them less. Drinking was a big part of my life and not drinking is also a big part so, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised that I do dream about it sometimes.

Congrats on one week sober! I have drinking dreams too sometimes, tho not as often as I used to. I don't worry over them tho as they're just my mind working things out in my sleep.

They can be super funny. I have had a lot of them, and some so real I wake up and I feel devastated that I somehow broke my sobriety, but then realize it wasnt real and I am SO RELIEVED, lol.

I had a drinking dream two nights ago, I wassell ing white wine. I knew I was dreaming because I have a hard time sipping anything alcoholic! It was such a tease as a sipper of white wine I will never be.
Sigh.
2 weeks today. I feel good.
