Day 14

[lil.michelle]

Hi all.

SO i'm just writting to let everyone know how i'm doing. I'm now at day 14 AF. It's been VERY VERY VERY hard to say the least. The past 2 days have been a bit better so hopefully the worst is over.
I'm feeling more confident but i'm very aware that that is very dangerous so i can't lower my guard.

I had a nightmare last night. It was really weird. I dreamt i had been drinking and i honestly felt the effects of it while asleep and i woke up feeling like i had a hangover. How odd is that and no, i difinately did not have a drinking session in my sleep *lol* There is no drink in the house thank goodness otherwise i would have been questioned it due to how i felt this morning. Any ideas what that was? I feel a bit better but still a bit crapy.

:thanks:

Day 14

That is such good news, LM!!! I am really proud of you as I'm sure you are of yourself. Sorry about the crappy nightmare; those dreams will subside soon. I do still have one occasionally so be aware of that. By all means, don't let your guard down for a second; AL is waiting patiently on the side-lines to take advantage of that moment, if and when it surfaces. Keep on going the way you have...you are doing great and almost 1/2 way to 30 days!!! Kriger

Day 14

Hi LM! Sorry to hear of your nightmare, but perhaps it is inevitable when we have been doing something habitually over a long period. I had dreams about smoking for at least 18 months after stopping. The dreams were so vivid, I would wake up convinced I had smoked several ciggies during the night. It was such a relief when I realised I had just dreamed it, but I could taste the ciggies in my dreams! I am sure the dreams will go away soon. Congratulations on day 14!

Day 14

Way to go LM!!! You are doing GREAT!!!

Drinking dreams are pretty common. Most of us have had them, and they can go on for years. It's nice to wake up and realize that it was just a dream! I find that they are good reminders of how rotten it feels (or would feel) to be drinking again...

Day 14

hey,
I had the same kind of dreams when I quit drugs 7 years ago. They lasted about 2 years..(sorry). It would take me about 5 min to realize it was a bad dream and I was still clean. I think the fear helped me stay sober.

Congrats to you I am on day 6 and so far so good, That evil twin will always be behind us- tapping on our shoulder with temptation. Keep strong, and take it day by day, and if that is to hard, go for 4 hour windows at a time, and if that is still hard, break it down to 2 hour windows. I am routing you on and Me Too
