LooseGrip

I'm sure there are numerous threads about this but what is the deal with this? Yes I am glad when I wake up and realize that I'm still sober but I am also a bit disturbed and wondering why. I went two weeks with having them nightly. It has eased up some now. Any thoughts or words of encouragement?

I have had those dreams, also, loosegrip. They weren't as frequent as you have mentioned but they were distressing and even after almost 30 months of sobriety I still have those dreams occasionally. I think that those dreams are a manifestation of our fears (the fear that we will slip-up). I think if those dreams upset us, we are okay. If I was dreaming of drinking and living it up without a care as to what I was doing, I would be really worried.

I had them nightly in rehab, my therapist told me they were "use" dreams and quite normal.
She explained that my brain still thought I was drinking. Mine went away after 60 days or so of sobriety, although I had one a couple of weeks back.

I've never had one. I finally sleep pretty soundly now. Good luck.
