Don't think there's something wrong with you and you're just unique. It's the way that the disease actually tries to beckon us back into the old habits.
Imagine waking up in a cold sweat after dreaming you’ve relapsed. It’s a common, yet unsettling, experience for many in addiction recovery. In this episode of 'Recovery and Reinvention', Dr. Marvin Johns sheds light on these using or drinking dreams. He explains that such dreams are not only normal but also a part of the recovery process. These dreams are the mind's way of tempting individuals back into their old habits, a sly trick of the disease itself.
But there’s hope. Dr. Marvin emphasizes the importance of sharing these dreams within support groups. By talking about them openly, their power diminishes, making it easier to stay on the path to sobriety. This episode doesn't just stop at dreams. Dr. Marvin also dives into the disease concept of addiction, early warning signs of relapse, and where to find help.
Whether you're in recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice to keep moving forward.
