Anyone else have using/drinking dreams? I had a powerful one last night!

I have them occasionally. In them, I'm having a glass of wine or a beer, knowing I've quit. But I know I'm going to stop after one drink. Last night I was guzzling Scotch from a half gallon bottle. I could taste and smell it. And I could feel myself getting drunk. Then I realized that I was going to quit for good this time. I poured the rest of it down the drain and said to myself, "You're not going to change unless you want to change." I woke up somewhat groggy but felt pretty darn good about my life and where I am at this point.

It's your body asking for a fix. Don't make too much of them, they are only dreams.

Haven not had one in at least 25 years.
