There is a moment when you wake up after having had a drinking/using dream that is really important to pay attention to: that moment when you are startled awake and either feel terrible that you had picked up in your dream or you are so fucking happy that you got fucked up and got away with it. If you are relieved that it was only a dream and that you did not drink/drug, good for you! That shows that you care about your sobriety. If you were the person who tried to go back to bed just so you could continue to be high in your dreams, well, not so good for you. That reaction would be your alcoholic/addict brain responding to the sensations of your drinking/using dreams. You may want to examine that a little more closely.
Reflections
What is my response after having a drinking/using dream?
Daily Challenge
Prepare to go to bed. Get pajamas on. Go to bed an hour early, and read a book before falling asleep.
