Hey guys.... I had too much to do to really get on a read all the posts but hubby is snoring and so are the kids....Now Listen to old wordly cindi (see post from angelica below LOL) NOBODY HERE IS A FAILURE>>>My God...being clean is sucha struggle...getting clean is just as hard but the real work begins after detox..I see nothing but determination in the both of you...and that is where it starts..the willingness...to get clean...so you have some failed attempts....big flippin deal..I read in my NA book that there are some people that truly are not able to stay clean....Jesus, there are people that have been trying to stay clean for 30 years...and maybe one day they will, or maybe they won't but they try...their intentions are good...just because a diabetic takes his insulin and watches everything they eat,,,does not mean their blood sugar won't go up or down,..but they try to maintain it...nothing is in stone..they refer to the word practice in my books and in life in general....someday,, it will happen...we, you all of us will be ok,,just for today.....hang in there....Jenny do you have acces to a computer in florida..I know wiz went fishing took his laptop and was going to try and look for a phone hookup LOL now,, that's an addict LOL Hi Wiz.....love ya.. Lov to all cin
I have to admit I love these rainy days too, Anjelica. There's nothing so soothing as lying in bed, listening to the rain on the roof. Even storms are OK -- I'm not afraid of bad weather like I once was.
jennyfla, I can't pretend to analyze dreams, but to me your dream strongly shows your strength, determination, and willingness to commit to recovery.It's like the detox/rehab is a safe haven for you. I think that's a great sign. And by all means, keep that Bible handy!
J.B. -- yeah, I can't even "let myself go," even in my dreams. But as for weather, I'm happy any day there's no snow...:)
Reading posts by all of you on various threads has been tremendously helpful to me.

I put the bible under my pillow the other night, and kissed it and prayed to god for help.
That night, i had a weird dream. I dreamed i was driving hit a car on my way back to my best friend's house. Someone i grew up with, but we live 250 miles from eachother now, but talk a lot.
Anyway, i went to my friend's house, and the cops were chasing me. My friend ended up talking me to a rehab, and i was concerned about my husband because i had 'everything' with me. I also didn't want my parents to find out (geez i'm 38-years old, listen to me!) But anyway, it was a good rehab program, and i woke up before i started, but felt a sense of peace while there. I'm wondering if god was trying to tell me to go to detox?
BTW, my friend has a husband who is an addict and alcoholic, so she is all too familiar with addictions. And, her first husband was an alcoholic, and ended up killing himself a long time ago. She doesn't know i'm using again, and i don't want to tell her.
Just thought i'd share my dream.

....after a 2 month dry spell, we've been getting rain for 3 days now. I will need a boat just to leave my driveway. I guess we asked for it, and we got it. LOL I have to admit, I like these rainy days. It seems to be very calming, and peaceful. LOL Hope your well, these days.
LOVE,
Angelica
I've had those dreams, too about my drug of choice. They are getting less and less frequent though. What is the subliminal mind trying to tell us?....Maybe we still have to be on guard?
The funny thing is that I've never had a dream about alcohol, yet have had many dreams about car accidents. Go figure! J.B.
P.S. Is it ever going to stop raining here in the midwest and get warm and sunny again?
