Hi Neil,
Yes that is fantastic, sounds as if your soberiety is becoming so firmly embedded into your brain now that it is just a part of you and quite a natural thing and the drinking side of you is now the unatural part, talk about tipping the scales....

I am now in my 6th month of soberiety and so far have had two drinking dreams... Both very similiar, sitting in my favourite chair at home, bottle of wine on the side table, glass of wine in my hand, I remember I could even taste how good that wine was... The dream was so vivid, when I woke up the next morning I had that horrible feeling of panic and fear in the pit of my stomach, I actually thought I had been drinking the night before, it took me a minute or two to realise it was a dream, oh the feeling of relief and thankfullness, I can't tell you....

Mind you, that feeling of relief is just another tool in my armoury of tools to use whenever the craving for a drink surfaces, because if I sit still for a few minutes I can still summon up how I felt after realising it was just a dream and that helps kill the craving stone cold dead..

Can't wait till I start dreaming about not having a drink though...

Love, louise xx
