I blame society for telling me to use drugs. I went along with it to fit in. I don’t care about fitting in anymore, but I don’t think it was my fault for partaking given the social atmosphere. So why do I have to suffer these dreams that torment me about it? Do I have unresolved trauma related to it or some shit?

PS. I am straight edge now, I haven’t used drugs in a long time and don’t think about them while I’m awake at all. I prefer to be sober minded. The only part they play in my life is in occasional dreams apparently, which are usually negative and unpleasant.

    I’ve been off alcohol and other substances for 25 years. I still get those weird dreams about using once in a while. Somehow the subconscious hangs on to some of that good/bad vibe and plays it back during sleep? I’m no specialist, but a drunk who can empathize with you!
