Dreaming About Drinking
Still sober (day 26...but focused on one day at a time). Taking lots of naps as I am still getting the "crash" effect when my normal bad behavior would kick in at 5pm. Increasingly having dreams where I mistakenly drink and then realize I have blown it...in my dream I am upset and then start drinking again (like the sober chapter in my life is over). The dreams are VERY realistic and I wake up quite freaked out and have trouble going back to sleep. Often when I awake (even without the drinking dreams) I feel totally hung over with aches and pains. The first 30 minutes in the morning is brutal. Has anyone else experienced any of these issues? Any suggestions?

I would guess that all of us have those dreams. I use to become quite upset at my own, but then decided that they were another example of my body trying to "purge" toxins....much like it purged the physical toxins of alcohol. Viewing my drinking dreams that way now has lessened their impact on me.
