I literally had a dream, not a wet dream but a very vivid dream where I was about to relapse, like literally the dream was me about to go on my phone and relapse..for some reason I never go to any app but I know for sure what I was there to do & as soon as I realized i woke up..I’ve only been clean for 4 days.. why is my brain playing tricks on me like this? This type of dream or whatever it was has never ever happened to me in the past. Maybe it’s cause 4 days has been my longest streak for a good while, or maybe it’s cause this time I’m really done and my brain wants to test me ? Idk man but I’m still clean and fighting the good fight. Bless us all

The same happened to me but I had already relapsed in the dream and I woke up fearful that I had relapsed this happened for about a couple of days and I was glad that I had them because they reminded me how relapsing makes you feel

The brain is used to its daily dose of dopamine so its sudden lack of it might be causing these sexual dreams as a symptom of this rewiring. My understanding is that it’ll be hard for the next month or so but after that it should mellow out once your brain has rewired (which takes about 28 days ish). Keep fighting the good fight brother, God bless you, God bless us all.

I welcome those dreams cuz when I wake up, I’m relieved I didn’t relapse and it makes the rest of the day much easier to get by
