14 days today...and the craziest nightmares

Today I will have been sober for 14 days! I’ve been feeling a lot better, and have felt myself turning my nose to alcohol. I used to worship the stuff! Sobriety has felt good, but I have been having the craziest dreams. I dreamt last night that I was covered in miniature vodka bottles, and that I was smoking weed. I wasn’t a smoker which is weird. I felt absolutely terrible having that feeling of going back to an unstable drunk. It was a reminder that I don’t want to go back!

If I have a drinking dream, I wake up and don't like that I had it, but I do not worry over it. It may take a while to shake some of those feelings off, but it doesn't mean to me that I'm on the verge of relapse. After I drank for so long, a lot of my memories are wound up in those actions, and my subconscious is pulling from a great deal of history. Posting here is a fine way to help get it off your mind.

Drinking dreams are very common takeaction.

I personally attached no meaning to them - I just worked on staying sober.

They will fade in time

Crazy nightmares in sobriety are a small trade off compared to the crazy reality of my drinking. One that I will take any day! :~) Congrats on the 14 days!
