Then I realized those patterns have been around a lot longer than my new resolutions.Louhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09496172669599418214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4531906302983891705.post-54081746244307286202009-04-07T05:29:00.000-07:002009-04-07T05:29:00.000-07:00After being sober for over three years I still have those dreams, although not as frequently. It is very common. i some say it is your disease coming through your sub-conscious, God reminding you that you are an alcoholic and so on. It's a dream. I always wake up feeling very, very grateful! It was only a dream, Yeah! Thank you God!Pattyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09332370695070835472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4531906302983891705.post-59077960146305273192009-04-03T09:41:00.000-07:002009-04-03T09:41:00.000-07:00Eli my husband used to have those nightmares, that he had taken a drink and all was lost, failure upon him, - he would wake in a sweat and shaking as if it had really happened...<BR/><BR/>That was early on last year...since he hit 500 days he has had fewer and fewer dreams that are like that... I often wonder if it was'nt his body craving it -and his mind fearing it all at the same time?Cathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16914656489970904052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4531906302983891705.post-89195834709264437632009-04-03T09:28:00.000-07:002009-04-03T09:28:00.000-07:00Hi Eli,<BR/>thanks for sharing your heart with us here and also for your encouraging words on my blog.<BR/>I'm glad to have found you as well and look forward to the day when we are all free from this worldly chain of sin.<BR/>Love you brother and stay strong, IN HIM.Timothyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03086563715081166417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4531906302983891705.post-14488393295423978412009-04-03T08:03:00.000-07:002009-04-03T08:03:00.000-07:00Great post, Eli.

Of success? Do we not feel that we deserve it? Will there be a higher standard to live up to if we make it past those landmarks? I think one day at a time, we can be GENTLE with ourselves, gently lead ourselves past the landmarks and love ourselves for staying on the path each day that we do.

I'll post a link so that you can read how it went: downing a pint, then a bunch of beers, pissing himself on the couch, wife leaving, etc. Stay the course Eli. It ain't worth the cost.Sydhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05642843245634635843noreply@blogger.com
