A drinking nightmare last night , also my van got stolen and all my tools in my dream ..

So peaceful quite and nice when i woke up sober this morning and world was pretty much as it was when i went to sleep last night , no huge dramas i don't remember causing .

Maybe the storm will blow in again , the thought of it makes me tear up , So today i'm in , one life, these years left i don't have the time to spend drinking when i could be trying to live in glory , telling people i love i love them , winning work for decent workers , sharing and spreading glory , paying it forwards , maybe having a belly laugh , seeing some nice sights and sounds .

Have a good sober day , day 1024 here and grateful for what i can try to achieve in sobriety ..

Every post you make on here is paying it forwards, sharing and spreading glory. Thanks for being here, m , and for all that you do for my sobriety.
I can never pay it back, so I too will pay it forward.

M - just wondering if you are struggling with sobriety, are all you sobriety tools in place? Sweet dreams!

1024 days.... Wow! Seems impossible to me but I plan to get there and then some. Great post!

Thanks for asking Tiptree ,
I think relapse has been in my mind with some of the sweet people on here .

I think our dreams sometimes try these ideas on for size .

I certainly don't feel in relapse territory and still have no desire to drink , The idea of drinking seems horrifying not good . My mate Rob had/has drinking dreams occasionally after 28 years clean and sober .

It's nice to have a reminder at how glorious being sober is and how grim it felt under the chemical influence .

My idea of putting this out there and in the new comers area was to share that drinking dreams don't spell disaster, that you can still have them for quite some time after giving up and that every day is a gift .

Though not a newcomer I've been concerned about these dreams and what they mean for my recovery. Thank you for putting them in the proper perspective.

Mecanix - 1,024 days!!! and I mean totally Rock.

I have the occasional drinking dream; my feeling is that if, in the dream, I regret the drink and that if, when I wake up, I am grateful it was only a dream - my mind is in the right place.

Keep on rockin' it, Mecanix.
