So here I am in the late 600 days of my quit. I've been having a few dip dreams lately. A week or so ago it wasn't a cave dream but a dream about having a can in my pocket. I shrugged that one off easy. Last night the dream was about a dip in my mouth and this one was disturbing. I've learned on this site that the addict brain lies to us all of the time. I double checked the house today to make sure that I didn't actually cave - it was just a dream.
I can't wait to post roll again tomorrow. B)B
It seems like these dreams pop up around milestones. Trust me when I say that they get further and further apart. 700 days ago you were a mess. Today you are a winner.
I am honored to quit with you.
I used to think dip dreams came from the addict in me trying to use my dreams to get me to cave... But I realize that dip dreams are from the quitter in me trying to show me the shame and disappointment if I caved.
Soooooo weird Dave, I had the most vivid dip dream a week or so ago. I could have sworn I dipped. My 18 year old son was like, 'Aw Dad Really??, you;ve come so far.."
Then i woke up in cold sweat and nearly in tears for disappointing him and thinking about how I was going to go crawling back to all my fellow quitters on here
Weird also that I haven't had any urges or cravings for as long as I can remember. Dip doesn't even cross my mind..... Im gonna chalk it up to exactly what Daragner said and move on, and try not to read too much into it. Proud to be quitting with all 3 of you guys!
