TW: drug craving

Uhg. I had a using dream last night.

I was with an ex. We were doing spoonfuls of cocaine, huge amounts. No matter how much I did, I didn’t feel any sort of intoxication. So of course I did more.

Woke up when I gained control.

I wasn’t even a coke fan, wasn’t much of a stimulant user, but I’m craving it for some reason.

The feeling is passing as time goes, it just struck me. I’ve been told I may have random flair ups of cravings for my entire sober career.

Holding strong. Writing it out helped. Yay for accountability!

I know holidays can make it harder to be sober.

Wishing everyone with substance issues well. Hold strong.

Good on you, @Ooorgle.

I don’t have substance issues, but I have serious food issues, and sometimes I dream that I’ve eaten everything and I wake up panicked over it. My brain starts figuring out how to get rid of it even before I’m fully awake.

Writing it out is a great idea.

Keep holding strong!

I’m an alcoholic and maybe once a year I’ll have a dream about drinking. In AA it’s called a “free drunk” !

It’s to be expected, don’t pay it any attention.

Thank you all.

Been working on this whole sobriety thing for a while now. Still have to put in active effort.

pout, vogue, clomp

That’s the llama dance of small victories.

I had a small relapse some days ago, but it was all due to the christmas blues. Besides that i have been sober for a month now, when it comes to opiates…

I really enjoy not thinking about drugs, do I have enough supplies, and all of that xxxx.

Hope you continue your life as drug free. It’s a jail.

Cravings will come and go your whole life. However, the fact that you didn’t do it and instead talked about it proves you’re very successful and doing great. Great job!!!
