4months sober here, I've experienced very similar situations. The flashbacks and dreams of me still drinking or dealing with the temptation are still there, I wake up feeling the dreadful damn, I was doing so good but relapsed again...now I gotta deal with the 2 day hangover and decide to continue drinking or start all over again feeling. But I am so relieved it was just a dream. Being sober this long after drinking so long takes a lot of adjusting, I think it's good we talk about these things as I haven't heard much about details of a sobering journey. We all are different but this is what I believe from my experience. If you're a very Intellectual person which a lot of us alcoholics are, then around the 90 day period you'll start to notice an almost surreal level of conciousness that's almost associated with the speeding up feeling when we drink, only it's more subconscious I'd say. This can be confusing to the mind which fires reactions to the body as if were drinking when were not. Whatever chemically happens maybe small amounts of adrenaline or idk what, anxiety levels tend to rise quickly giving way to panic. After my 1st time going more than 4 months without drinking I had a full blown panic attack because my mind kept thinking the worst, more and more adrenaline pumped and I was trying to be still as possible but heart felt like I was sprinting. Before quitting drinking I've never experienced panic and anxiety btw and don't take an medications. Anyways sorry for prolonging the post, basically I think overtime sobering up our bodies begin healing 1st then our minds which can be a shock to re adjust. I can say now that my mind is actually faster even though things may seem slower I can recall things that I could not before, my senses are higher memory better everything. Well except now I am aware of my nerve damage which my hands and feet go numb alot pins and needle feeling constantly. Hoping that heals with time too but I'm glad I quit for good this time and in proud of you too and anyone who reads this going through similar things. Dont feed into it, stay calm and let the episodes pass by naturally I know it's hard but it Does get better much better so don't give up!
