Meaning of dreams about Drinking alcohol after quitting

DreamPath Analysis Summary
The presence of other individuals or objects in the dream world indicates outside forces that have a significant influence on your life at the moment. Unlike dream symbols which focus on your body or your feelings, these external symbolic imageries mean you are fixating on something that may be out of your control or a peripheral issue that will eventually have a significant impact on your life. Foodstuffs, in the dreams, are usually thought to be representative of the quality of our financial situation or perhaps a reflection of what our situation could be under varying circumstances. As such, the type of food and its condition may reveal something that you need to do, something that you need to stop doing, or something that is affecting your financial situation in one way or another. Drinking a beverage, for instance, is usually tied to your work ethic. This means that your financial position may be improved or worsened by your behavior at work. The obvious example would be getting a promotion for good work or getting fired for bad work, but this symbol is more nuanced than that. You may be denied a bonus because you were careless with some details, or you may be overlooked to head a project because your workspace appears messy and unorganized. Alternatively, you may earn the appreciation of your boss for discretely pointing out an error rather than joking about it with your colleagues in the breakroom later. Alcohol is thought to represent needing, receiving or giving help. As a subset of the drink symbol, alcohol can refer to a number of situations that require you to either provide assistance to someone else or be humble enough to accept assistance from others. This may be especially difficult in a work environment. Envisioning yourself drinking alcohol of an unknown or unclear variety suggests that you are in need of someone's help in reality. Maybe you know that you have a weak point when it comes to work, like customer service or organization, and you need to seek out a colleague with more experience to help you out. Alternatively, you may be seeing this symbol because you subconsciously know that you are not performing at your best but do not know what you need to do in order to get to the next level. With this in mind, those who see themselves drinking alcohol after they have quit using such a substance may subconsciously be feeling that their lack of a clear path is leading them towards unhealthy coping mechanisms, be it a return to alcohol or another vice, in this case, the best thing to do is ask for general help in pointing out areas of strength or find ways to improve.
