I just noticed something in the past few months that made me very happy.
After years of battling multiple addictions (but only starting to get a handle on it in the past year or so), my drug dreams have suddenly just about disappeared... and when I do have them, they're usually negative.
I used to be plagued by "using" dreams every night, even during periods of sobriety. It made me so angry because I would have a good day, not think about drugs at all, then dream about them all night and wake up jonesin' my balls off. (obviously I still craved them, at least subconsciously)
It was usually a big bag of oxys or some other opioid, and I was always excited beyond belief. Sometimes in the dream, I would look closer and realize that they were really just something like m&m's, skittles or tums!
The last one that I had a few weeks ago, I found a large bag of the old olive green 30mg morphine sulfate tablets under a chair. I looked at it for a second, thought of the consequences, and looked for a bathroom to flush it. I woke up and thought, "Wow, I'm finally starting to get better!" :D
I am so glad that I never tried crystal meth. I was actually watching a documentary on it just last night that explained exactly what it does to the brain. It not only makes you release insane amounts of dopamine, but simultaneously damages the receptors so you that you can't manufacture, release or utilize as much of it in the future. Some long-term users say that even after years of being clean, they just can't "remember" how to feel happy anymore. It's a real shame.
Peace, Love and Faith,
