And what a relief to be able to say: man, I didn't do any of that shit last night.
Imagine waking up in a cold sweat, convinced you've fallen off the wagon, only to realize it was just a dream. That's the unsettling reality of drinking dreams, or nightmares, that many face in early recovery. In this episode of 'A is for Alcoholic', hosts John and Jerry open up about their own encounters with these vivid dreams and the emotional rollercoaster that follows.
They share personal stories of waking up feeling intense guilt and shame, despite remaining sober in reality. But it's not all doom and gloom; they also offer practical advice on how to cope with these unsettling experiences. From leaning on support systems to finding healthy coping mechanisms, John and Jerry provide a roadmap for navigating these tricky waters.
They even discuss the benefits of online communities like the Stop Drinking subreddit, where individuals can find solace and support from others who understand their struggles. And just when things get a bit heavy, Jerry's dog Coco makes a cameo, bringing a smile to everyone's face. By the end of the episode, listeners are reminded of the relief that comes with waking up sober and the importance of self-forgiveness.
Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and a touch of humor to help you through the journey.
