Today starts the 30th day of my new alcohol free life. Some days have been easier than others and some days have been down right horrible. I have been having "drunk dreams" this past week and I'm definitely not a fan. The first time it happened I woke up with feelings of regret and shame thinking why did I drink, I don't want to start all over again. I quickly realized that it was just a dream/nightmare and felt better. Confused but better just the same. My question for others here at SR is 1: Is this common? And 2: How long should I expect to have these drunk dreams?

Thanks for any input.

Hi. Yes they are fairly common and for me were a good remember when as all mine seemed too real. They get less with time, I don't recall one for years. BE WELL

Thanks visch. All too real.

I had them, too - I think they are common, S4S. Unfortunately I let them lead me back into drinking instead of staying the course like you are. That was insane. Once I got back on track I just put up with them & vowed to never put myself in that position again. One day I realized I hadn't had one in a long time. As Visch said - I don't recall one for years.

It's all going to work out - be patient with yourself - you're doing great.

Congrats Shooting

Yes, they're very common, and I think it varies for everyone how long they last.
You're probably nearing the end tho, I'd guesstimate

I never worried about them - to me dreams are dreams....as long as in my walking hours I stay sober, I'm doing ok
