JUST WONDERED IF ANYONE HAS POSSIBLY MENTIONED; " THE INNER CHILD? " AFTER SOME THERAPY DEALING WITH THE INNER CHILD, I FOUND ALOT OF MY UNACCEPTABILITY. I AM MY WORST CRITIC! COMES STRAIGHT OUT OF MY UNCONSCIOUS.

Seems like you could use the services of a good exorcist. Have you tried wearing a cross.demons hate the cross.

lo f'n L, stephen. I am obsessed but I'm not possessed.
Though I can be a 'lil devil at times.
Too funny.
Have a good day.

LOL @ WHOOHOO!

It's normal to have those vivid dreams when either coming off drugs or booze for quite a while. They do go away though and they suck while you're having them, no doubt.

Before I came into recovery and was introduced to a Higher Power whom today I call God I prayed to a Lower power.

Today I believe that lower power was my disease alcoholism. And what used to go through my head I couldn't talk to anyone about. There was a whole lot of sick stuff going on in there.

I tried to make bargains with this lower power but I had nothing to bargain with the lower power had me , hook , line and sinker. I guess that's were the cliches come from I heard in recovery.

Don t go into your head without adult supervision.

Going into my head is like going behind enemy lines.

And to cut a very long story short (That's hard for an alcoholic. lol) in early recovery I was introduced to One who has all power God as I try to understand Him.

And when these sick thoughts or dreams would begin I would say. GOD . GET OUT DEVIL. Over and over and within a short time the dreams disappeared .

Give it a go see what happens. There is so much I have left out but trying to keep it short.

God Bless...

I don't get it, hun.
GOD. GET OUT DEVIL.
????

best thing I ever heard about my inner child is when I got drunk so did that l;ittle bastard. Back in the 80s someone named bradshaw bought the inner child therapy into AA. Its 2008 and most AAers that are still sober said thank god it left it screwed Aa UP.

My bf lately has been complaining about having bad dreams...he doesn't remember every detail but basically he's in jail for some reason or another. Is this part of the DTs?

You always had dreams but due to the booze you don't remember them. I am not an expert in interpreting dreams. You could check and find a therapist who can help you.

It's not a devil. don't worry about that crap.

I will probably be digging a bigger hole here. But the word God can be changed to.

G= Group = Group = Good = Get
O= Of = Of = Orderly = Out
D= Drunks = Drug Addicts = Direction = Devil

And so when i was having these Demonic Dreams instead of sitting in them I would invite God in to take them away and He did.

i would just say G.O.D God Get out Devil.The Devil being the Demonic Dreams .

Sorry I am unable to explain it any better.

God Bless...

That come out all over the place.

Some of us who think we have the answers may try doing the work to uncover the defects of character, burried deep in the unconscious.
I beg to differ, Bradshaws work, dealing with guilt and shame, put a flood light on the possible causes and conditions in my life, that gave me those bent and twisted realities of life. By the way, they too, are burried, deep in the unconscious.
I would hope that individuals that read material concerning outside mental issues, might try practicing some of those priciples. They work!

Those sound like the DTS. I got them only I seen bugs. I went to Drtox, the people there helped me get through.

wow yes lately.I have been having some incredibly nasty dreams.so violent that I fly out of bed like an ejection seat.I have been having them for some time now,they are making it very hard to sleep as I am getting almost afraid to go to sleep.I am puzzled to some say it is the withdrawls,but I wonder as I had them even when still drinking.Need the mto go away as I can not take this much more need my sleep.

I get it now, Lionel.
Thanks for explaining.
I get them when I am drinking, too. But mostly when I'm sober.
Creapy crap.
