The guilt from those drinking dreams when I wake up is like the same guilt I felt back in the day, being guilty for being an alcoholic and all the stupid shit I did.
Ever wake up in a cold sweat, heart pounding, because you dreamt you were drinking again? You're not alone. In this episode of 'The Sober Gay', Dillan and Aubrey dive into the unsettling world of drinking dreams. They open up about their own nocturnal experiences, where past habits sneak back into their subconscious, making them feel vulnerable and guilty all over again. It's a raw and real conversation that highlights just how pervasive alcohol can be, even in our dreams.
The episode kicks off with a discussion about a Coors billboard in Denver that reads 'Insert Beer Here'. For Dillan, it's a stark reminder of how alcohol is omnipresent in our society. This leads them into the main topic: drinking and using in dreams. Dillan recounts how his dreams often spiral into hiding his drinking and feeling dizzy, much like his real-life experiences with alcohol.
Aubrey shares how the guilt from these dreams mirrors the guilt he felt when he was actively drinking. These dreams serve as a wake-up call for both hosts, reminding them of their commitment to sobriety. Throughout the episode, Dillan and Aubrey emphasize the importance of having reminders and resources to stay on track. Whether it's a billboard that triggers a craving or a dream that shakes your resolve, they stress the need for constant vigilance and support.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone on a sober journey, offering valuable insights into the challenges and rewards of staying sober, especially within the LGBT+ community. So, if you've ever felt shaken by a drinking dream, tune in to 'The Sober Gay' for some heartfelt advice and solidarity.
