I've been having dreams again! That's my favorite part about Sober October

Is this thing still on?

Is this thing still on?

Sure is. I'm doing hard mode. No alcohol, thc, nicotine, caffeine, nothing unless it's prescribed by a doctor.

Most people just avoid alcohol and weed during sober october but you can do it whatever way you want

If you're counting down the days until you can drink alcohol again it might be a sign that you're addicted and should probably consider quitting for longer than just a month. Maybe you should monitor your intake after sober October is over and try reducing your consumption

I've been having dreams again! That's my favorite part about Sober October

If I don't drink or die, I'll have 18 years of sobriety on the 13th.  Not just Octobers.  One of the strangest phenomena of sobriety is the "using dream".  I don't have them as much as I used to, but on occasion, I'd have a dream where I'd get drunk or high.  This is almost inevitably followed by extreme anxiety about having ruined my life.  I also sometimes have dreams where I turn down drugs or alcohol, but these are fewer and far between.  An even weirder phenomena has happened when I've seriously undertaken the project of giving up sweets.  I start to have using dreams about chocolate, cookies, etc.

Anyway, I don't do drugs so that there is more of them for you.
