Day 3 (Strange Dreams)

Day 3 started out worse than the first two. But, I had some coffee, made a nice breakfast and went for a very nice walk in the park with my boyfriend and his daughter. I am really excited that I was able to drive them there! At the end of the day I'm feeling much better. I still have the roller coaster anxiety attacks and irritability and cravings. I know sleep change patterns are common. But last night I woke up about every hour with a completely different very strange series of dreams. Only one was alcohol themed. Are bizarre dreams common?

Congrats on 3 days, things are bumpy at first but it does settle down, as we say, everything passes.

It will get better

I'm on day 9 being sober. Every night since I've had a dream of relapsing so after the first few days I go to bed knowing whats coming. The dreams are usually pretty weird/frightening but I'm thinking that with time they will go away. I think they are fairly common at the beginning but I'm not completely sure.

I'm going to try some meditation right before bed and maybe some uplifting reading.

This is my day three. Last night I kept waking from very, very vivid and bizarre dreams. It's funny because only one of mine was about alcohol too. It was about whiskey which I never drink. Odd. From what I've read, it doesn't seem like an uncommon thing to experience. Hope the best for you.
