Been doing the Holistics and read the book (MWO) have'nt touch the booze though there are days where you mind wonders. Stress filled days & even your dreams seem to attack you. (Had one where I was drinking agian & woke up in a cold sweat.) IAD.......

Congrats on 3 1/2 weeks IAD - a tremendous accomplishment that you should be very proud of!

Never really sure that the desire goes away entirely, it's just the way that you respond to it that changes. Keep up the great work! :goodjob:

Glad for you....:goodjob:

Those dreams do sneak up on you...especially when you aren't drinking & not even thinking about it. And those days are tough when that urge hits. I had one last week when all of a sudden in the car I passed by the liquor store & a powerful thought & want overcame me. But as soon as it came into my mind- I let it out. Started thinking about something else. That's the main thing I do differently~ I keep busy (physically & mentally). That way I don't have enough time for the hooch. LOL!

IAD, I, too have those drinking dreams where they seem very real! I woke up the other morning after a night about dreaming I had been drinking. I really felt hungover! It was all too bizarre to say the least. It is a great feeling when you do completely wake up and realize it was only a dream! WHEW!

Congratulations IAD! Well done!
Drinking dreams are really common, I hear, especially at the beginning (first few months?) of recovery.

IAD...

Sorry, minor detail...however get this...

last night I was stuck in a snow storm on the way home from work and it took me 4 hours to get home which usually takes me 40 min. I wanted a drink so bad when I got home, I walk in and (I have in-laws living with us...and visiting is a sister in law, her daughter and husband till Sat.) This A...hole (sister in law's, daughter's husband, who decided to go to a mall in the snow storm, starts telling me all the trouble he had going to and from the mall in the snow, and how stupid everybody else is who can't drive in the snow...he goes on, and on, and on, ...I still have my coat on..(if I'd had a gun.....well) I'm biting my tongue trying not to say "shut the H up... Stupid... is someone who goes to the mall in a snow storm at rush hour when there is a snow emergency...That stupid deserves every pain they got...The last thing I wanted to hear was this guy bitching...Please give me a drink!!!!

I took sups, drank water, took an old anxiety pill I had let over, ate supper and locked myself in my room...So I did not drink!!!

However, I had a dream last night that I got very upset about something and I was drinking all this vodka on the rocks, I mean 6 or 8 of them...am I remember feeling so mad at myself...and I was thinking I would have to come in here today and let all of you know, I was back to day one....then I woke up! I was so happy!!! and I can say today I'm on day 11. But the dream and the anxiety of chugging down the booze was scary...

The Cheerleaders were much better...

Rocky,
Dreams seem so real @ times. but like the others have said it's only a dream.......it's like Bobby Ewing coming back from the dead (Dallas). Where the h... did that come from. I must still be imagining that Dallas Cowboy Chearleader thing....ha! IAD.
