I hear you, I had to adjust me frame of thinking and enjoyed my peaceful night.

I had a drinking dream two weeks ago that scared me pretty badly. I woke up at 6am in a panic, followed shortly after by a overwhelming sense of relief and gratitude that it was a dream and not real life.

I remembered that there was a 7am meeting close by, so I threw on clothes and headed over. Today was 13 days in a row of making it to the 7am meeting and I am in SUCH a better place. A daily meeting has become my medicine and sometimes I even hit two meetings a day. I know I can’t stay sober on my own, but I also recognize that my serenity and happiness is directly proportional to how many meetings I go to during the week.

Continue to do so, good job, remember that what ever it takes to stay sober is the key to success! The dreams are scary but they are also part of the process, as long as Ive been in recovery, I still have them!

I started working for a bank and am going through the background check. They found an arrest which was dismissed and the file was sealed a few days after the check. They’re requesting the police report on top of the court order to seal. The police report is BAD. During the arrest (DUI) they wrote the report to make me seem like a complete lunatic. Embellished on several elements of the case. I am worried that giving them this report will cause me to be let go.

Each day is a sense of accomplishment and a win over the pull of my own thoughts. Forcing my willpower into further restraint. 10 days strong so far.
