LULU- go for a walk- I was told by my counsellor once to do this. I did not want to- which was the point. Like a petulant child I went done 'my' walk. It got me out of my head space and my personal space. I saw stuff I had not noticed before. Calmed me down.

Hi Snooz! My meeting with my sponsor went well. I really like her and we have a lot in common. Even have the same first name. Today has been a bit of a roller coaster. Went to a meeting that I had never been to before because I felt like I needed it and ended up leaving halfway through it. Just wasn't a good fit and I didn't feel comfortable. Came straight home, had a good cry and talked to my husband. Early sobriety is hard, but it is still so much better than it was 24 days ago.

And I relate to the awful meeting....I have a memory just like that one...so very glad your husband was there for you.
As we all are....we love you.

Hi Lulu, keep posting. Let us help you.
My sister left this afternoon. The house is quiet and I miss her. I think we got on pretty well. I'm going out to a play reading this evening, just to get out of the house.

I'm sorry you miss her now....but so proud of you.
Glad you are out tonight, and I hope the play is enjoyable.

Hi Lulu, I'm glad you are posting. Do you see a therapist, or counsellor? I found great help through an addictions services agency in the first almost year, as well as SR of course. Loneliness is a horrible, wrenching feeling. We all understand. I certainly do. Alcohol is a false friend though. Al the best today.
I'm down another 3lbs which I'm happy about. My sister loves sweet things as I do, so we bought all sorts of chocolate treats for her, for the house, but I was ok, and didn't binge. We did share a delicious Nanaimo bar at a cafe one day, but it didn't set me off, thank goodness. Neither did her drinking wine and scotch. Actually, she seems to be drinking less, so that's good. I had to pour out some wine she had left over. When I think of it, I could never not finish a bottle of wine if I opened it, crazy! Never want to go there again.

Going to work will keep you occupied for a good length of time. Keep fighting! It is so much better to be clean, sober, and unmuddled.
If you can steel yourself to withstand the worst of the craving phase, you will be amazed at how much freer and clearer you feel!
Keep fighting. It is well worth it!

Thinking of you, Lulu. Just for today let's not drink.
Leshar, so happy for you that you had a good visit with your sister and congrats on losing 3 lbs! That's wonderful!
Hope everyone else is doing well.
