Something over which an addict has no control are the contents of dreams while sleeping.

But upon waking, dream states have real consequences.

Addicts dreaming of using again experience all the triggers, situations and feelings associated with active addiction, no matter how long they’ve been clean.

Waking with all of these renewed and on the table is a breeding ground for real life relapse.

The mind is both a wonderful thing and a terrible thing.

The ruthless enemy attacks within from our past experiences and would love nothing more than to trigger another succumbing.

Just shaking it off with distractions and another cup of coffee isn’t sufficient nor effective.

The power held by our dreams must be met with the confidence of our salvation and the renewing of our minds in a one-two punch wearing Holy Spirit gloves.

When it comes to the realm of imaginations, remember Jesus Christ is the real thing.
