Two weeks from now marks a year since my last drink. Last night I had a dream in which I had one and instantly felt regret knowing I was so close. But it was a dream, and I’m not drinking today.

drinking dreams are the worst. I've always put them down to my subconscious working things out while I'm not looking.
About 3 months into "off the booze for a year, yeah, see how it goes?" I woke up absolutely furious with my boyfriend, blamelessly asleep in his own bed on the other side of London, for giving me wine in my dream. That was one of the things that made me think I was in it for the long haul, not just a year.
Ugh, those are the worst. Waking up anxious and trying to remember what I blacked out and did last night, oh wait, just a dream
Congrats on almost a year!
