Drunk Dreams

[ibizan]

How many of ya been having drunk dreams?Where ya think ya really drank and upon waking find u didn't of of course but felt so real?I had them a lot early in sobriety and later on when stressed out bout something.Last nite i had one where i drank all this beer and i was never a beer drinker!Got drunk in the dream,got caught and had to fess up and was ashamed to do so!Woke up and said man that was weird!Last year was watching show on guy in Harlem.Recovering addict who b-gan a treatment center for other addicts.I fell asleep.Dreamt i was in my pajamas running down the streets of adjoining town smoking crack!But they are a release from the subconcsious mind and it good to get that outta ur system!

so good to hear from u!i have a concern for you.I live in smallish town.I've seen this happen and would hate to see it happen to you.Scenario:woman at home under influence of whatever.has children there and one gets sick and has to go to ER.She is scared but DRIVES child and maybe another in her care to ER.Maybe a policeman in ER.Smells alcohol or notices her under influence and calls Childrens Services.It is the law here in Ohio that they do that.It is a legal mishmosh but often a necessary wake-up call for mom.U sound so alone there with no back-up..am i right?I am concerned!U need to get help girl..u cannot do this alone!Can relate many times to the dreams!

I never had dreams about alcohol but I did abou other drugs I was on at the time of getting sober.  It's crazy.  When I got pregnant with my first son I quite smoking ciggs, drinking, smoking pot, doing pills(percs), coke,  on the weekends and I was so freakin bored at first.  After being pregnant for about two to three months the dreams happened less.  By the end of the pregnancy I didn't even think about partying.  I was so happy though.  It was a huge accomplishment for me.  Something felt good about taking care of myself.  I have it in me to party, that's for sure.
My dreams would wake me thinking,"oh my god I just did all this blow and I forgot I'm pregnant."  This happened for a while.  
I've gotten totally sober twice in the last four years.  It was when I was pregnant with my children.  After that it just kept creeping back.  Now I would like to get a grip on this misery.  It's making me depressed.  A terrible cycle.  Over and Over.
