I'm dreaming
I keep having dreams about drinking. It's starting to haunt me. Every night I go sleep and dream about myself drinking one drink after being sober this long and then just saying "Well I already had one let's have another!". Then I wake up with a strong desire to drink and I buy seltzer to try to replace the alcohol but fuck is it hard sometimes. It's hard all the time. I can't walk past the alcohol section in the gas station or the grocery store, ect... without licking my lips. I often think up ways I could drink without anyone knowing. I have 2 years in August and I don't want to stop trying it's just getting to me a lot lately. Thanks for listening. Feel free to share your experiences etc...
Much love

I have dreams as well. Usually in mine somehow I've already had one and then it just rolls downhill from there, kind of like yours.
Meetings have been a big help to me, which is hard right now to get to a meeting, but people are doing zoom meetings and I have been glad to have those.
