Another 24 of Day 24
Hello Everyone,
Just wanted to check in and do a little post this morning. I had an intense drinking dream last eve where I went to have a bit of whisky. Then a friend of mine, who has been sober for over 4 years, appeared and suggested bourbon. I asked her if it was ok that she had some and she said yes, only if she sips (in real life this would never have been her answer). I sipped about 1/3 of my shot glass and felt this horrible feeling that I did not make the 30 day mark. It was so real and intense and I was so upset at myself. It took a couple minutes after waking up to bring myself back to reality and know that that did not happen and I have not had any booze.
So here's to Day 24! Originally I wanted to make it until this coming Wednesday but as I've been taking it one day at a time, I will decide then that I may just want to keep on the sober train!

Thanks for comments with support and concern. This wasn’t a post that was supposed to be about drinking again so my apologies if that’s how it came across. More about just taking it one day at a time. Even to get this far, what got me here was the one day at a time focus. No concern with tomorrow right now, just today and today I have decided I will not drink. Proud to be on day 24.

congrats on 24 days copperfield. Yeah those drinking dreams can be terrifying especially because they could have happened for real. I think if you're waking up relieved that it didn't happen it shows you really don't like or want to drink anymore.

Congratulations Copperfield on Day 24. Drinking dreams can be frightening, it's the waking up thinking you've drank, the disappointment that you've even dreamt it and it taking a minute or two before you realise it was just a dream. I also get smoking dreams too and I wake up not only convinced I've smoked but for a short while I also feel like I've got a sore throat. Very strange.
