Dreaming about drinking?

25 Apr

Does anyone else dream about drinking?

I have been sober for almost 3 months now (minus a one-week trial of moderate drinking) and yet I have been having reoccurring dreams about drinking. In real life, I don’t have any great urge to drink. There are bottles of wine and beer in the fridge and I haven’t been (seriously) tempted. But in my dreams, I get drunk and then I feel horribly guilty or I have one of two and then worry that I will slip and start drinking more. That guilty feeling will sometimes stay with me for a few hours after waking.

On a happy note, I am down 7 pounds in 7 weeks thanks to weight watchers. I am sure not drinking has also played a part. One fake beer=1 point. 1 real beer = 4 points.
