Drinking Dreams
I keep having drinking dreams. I don't feel close to drinking so I'm not sure why I keep having them. Last night, it seemed so real. I was in the dream, at the liquor store, buying wine...When I woke up, I had such a moment of panic.
Today I am grateful for the fact that my dreams were only just that and that I am sober today.

...and I keep running into those carts full of discounted wine in the grocery store. It's ok now, it was just that first time, and the timing of it, that really threw me. To get back on your topic, I don't usually have drinking dreams, but occasionally I have smoking dreams, and I quit some 11-12 years ago! Those old habits die hard, I suppose.
Really, it is OK. There is a man at my Sunrise meeting that has double digits sobriety and sometimes still dreams of having a drink. Hell you drank as your initial career, but of course it is gonna infect your mind at times. The thing though, you don't act upon it and continue walking yor path. Some fears are healthy, the ones that do not stop u in your tracks.

I think dreams like that can be the soruce of enormous amounts of gratitude. Appreciate them for what they are.
A friend once told me when I had those dreams that they are just one of God's subtle ways to remind me of my honesty program.
Take heart. As time passes and as you put some years behind you those dreams will subside and eventually fade away.
Got to stay sober .. first.
