In this episode of the Recovery Daily Podcast, I explore the unsettling experience of drinking dreams and how they can affect your awakening. These dreams, while distressing, do not signify a desire to return to substance use. Instead, they may reflect deep-seated fears and anxieties related to your recovery progress. I discuss how to put these dreams into perspective, understanding that they are merely a reflection of your subconscious mind processing your emotions.
The episode also covers the importance of acknowledging your emotions, practicing good sleep hygiene, and sharing about your dreams when needed. I talk about the ways drinking dreams can actually be a sign of progress, showing that you're deeply committed to your sobriety. Additionally, I share my personal experience with my new disability dreams and how they relate to the challenges of living with a disability and chronic pain.
Join me as I unpack how to navigate waking after these dreams. Whether you're in early recovery, have been sober for years, or are newly disabled, this episode offers valuable insights into maintaining your emotional and mental well-being.
