And not just when you're new to sobriety, but it happened more frequently to me then and scared the hell out of me. It took me awhile to believe it wasn't real. And I've had them since, the one that stuck with me was about a liquor store - that my sponsor was operating. And I saw several women I knew from the rooms there as well. I still occasionally have them - even after 10 years, and I still find them disturbing, but I'm not actually drinking in the ones I have now, just finding myself somewhere I don't belong. It does get easier and it sure helps to talk about it and to realize you're not alone.
