bad dreams of using meth again
I have been clean now for 8 months, My partner and I quit at the same time, and our lifes have never been better.,My problem is I keep having nightmares of using or my boyfrind using.,I wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat ..The dreams always seem so real. Is this normal? Does this demon ever go away? |

I had bad dreams every night for the first 3-4 months. After that it was about once a week until I had been clean for about one year. I would wake up in a panic. Now, they only happen about once every two or three months. They will get better, just hang on. |

Re: bad dreams of using meth again
yep..I had them too..all the time for the first few months.after the first year they got better..now i seldom have them(22 mos clean)I think thats pretty typical. |

Even after almost 16 years, I still have dreams like that occasionally. I always wake up feeling out of sorts, for lack of a better term. I used get really upset about it, but not as bad as I used to. My sponsor told me that was my brain's way of dealing with stress, and I do find that those dreams do occur for me when things just seem to be extra challenging for me. Better in a dream than in real life! ((((((hugs))))) PS. I did have them a LOT the first couple of years! |

Re: bad dreams of using meth again
Its funny you say that because now that I think about it I cant remember dreaming when I was using, Is it that I dont remember or that I wasent dreaming? |

Hi sweetheart, and congratulations on your clean time!!!!! You know, I'll be clean 10 years in a month or so, and I STILL have the using dreams. Mine aren't so much ME using, as they are my exhusband (who was my co-addict) using and flying into the violent rages that he was sooooo good at when we were together. And mine have increased in frequency since I came to this board almost a year ago. Just know that they are normal and in time, depending on each individual, they will subside. They cannot hurt you, of this I'm sure. |

I never considered using dreams bad dreams.. ....I always thought they were freebees. then, I got where, I'd never get to do any,I was just trying to do some all night, there was always a hole in the bag...or something. ...............very frustrating. I quit 6 years. ...then the last relapse I had, brought me to new levels of wreched. I was homeless, I lived like a cockroach.. .......I lost alot of things that matter to me. it hurts so bad.. ....the dreams I have now, are'nt about speed. they are about how and where i was on speed, and what I left. they are dark, and I'm wading thru speed freaks apts piled high with pieces and parts of crap that was disassembled.. ....waiting for the new dope in a room full of crack whores and dope fiends... .....me leaving my art and photos, and taking tiny clothes i can't even fit in now. *sigh* really... ....you'll be OK. just don't go back. no the demon stays. ....it gets bigger if you feed it. and stays the same if you don't. |

Re: bad dreams of using meth again
In my dreams there is always huge ammounts of meth,and Im telling everyone I dont do it any more, But it keeps turning up every where. I try to hide it or get rid of it but more of it showes up.I never actually do the drug in my dreams.but I always wake up in relief that its only a dream. |
