Had a major drinking dream last night. It came out of nowhere and was one of those ones that feel totally real, even to the point where I was writing to you guys admitting I had done it and reading the kind messages from people telling me to start over, and others from very upset and vulnerable people who were devastated I had let them down and started drinking again themselves.
All I did was pick up a glass of wine and drink it at a party, as simple as that. I picked the glass up and downed it like it was normal. Then had another. The feeling of ‘this is so easy to do’ was terrifying.
The feeling after the picking up of the two glasses of red of utter relentless disappointment in myself and the message I had sent to others by starting to drink after all this time was like a thousand cuts.
Then the relief on waking and of realising it wasn’t true hit the other end of the joy scale. I don’t know why these dreams happen, but I am guessing it is simply my brain reassuring me that if I restarted, the feelings would be unbearable, so don’t go there.
Drinking dreams are scary. I’m not sure what their purpose is, maybe to remind us to remain vigilant? Thanks for sharing. xx

Hi Binki, where are you? I hope everything is ok in your world. I keep checking in in the hope there is something new but alas no! š¦
I am sure others are wondering if you are ok, are you able to just post something along the lines of ” gone fishing, be back soon” or “on sabbatical, watch this space”
Either way have a happy and healthy 2016
