An angry drunk dream
Posted by Dream Momma on Fri, Sep 11, 2009 at 11:30 AM
Dream Momma,
I was in my car waiting in line at a gas station. When it was my turn to put gas in my car the pump was dry. I was furious all of the other drivers got gas and I didn't.
Dear Gas Station Dreamer,
Did you know that the booze we all swill down with reckless abandon and the gas we all pump into our cars non-stop share a common chemical? Reading your dream conjured up an image of a guy sucking on the end of a gas pump line. I pay attention to my images; they’re my buddies and usually spot on. I tell you this because I think you’re a drunk being challenged not to drink.
You may have gotten a DUI and were mandated to treatment, or you may have promised your girlfriend you’d stop after you went limp in bed (booze kills sex dead), or you’re on a white-knuckle flight to torturous sobriety because mama gave you an ultimatum. Whatever.
People don’t understand that drunks are addicts. They can’t stop without a ton of serious help. Even then, relapse is common. So you’re furious because everyone can drink and you can’t? Well, that’s a myth. There are lots of people that can’t/don’t drink, for lots of different reasons, BUT you’re not hanging with them.
Are you angry about losing your boozy image at the local hang-out (you know, the one of you being the last one standing) or facing the anxieties and fears you had at twelve when you started to experiment and found alcohol was magic? Maybe you’re angry about the dull, boring you that will reappear when sober. I don’t know -- but it really doesn’t matter since drunks die at seven times the rate of sober people, so you may not be around that long.
Now Dream Momma wants you to imagine a sober you three to five years down the road. You’ll certainly have more money (drunks spend a lot and get cheated out of a lot more), you’ll possess a diamond-cutter in bed (drunks are terrible lovers), and you’re sure to find you’re not so ho-hum after all (drunks have poor judgment). Isn’t all that worth a shot?
Anger is a powerful emotion. People have been using it to transform the world (like the Civil Rights movement) forever. Use your anger to make a real change in your life because if you don’t you’ll never have great sex again, be broke all the time, and eventually die an ignoble death.
Dream Momma wants you to do three things to get started. First, call AA and find a local meeting; secondly, go to the meeting, and finally go back again, and again, and again …and again.
