3 Weeks sober....Movie night, RAMBO
Been awhile since i posted. Stayed with my mom and brother for my first 3 weeks of sobriety. Last night was my first night back home....where my drinking took place. Was nervous and scared to come back to the place where my drinking started. I cried like a baby, hugging my brother tight and didn't want to let go before he left. This is my first morning here SOBER and i made it through the night. It's gonna be a long road ahead of me, staying sober but i will NOT drink, no matter how i feel. keeping busy, Reading "The Big Book" from my AA meeting, writing in my journal, trying to find hobbies to keep my mind off the drink. ....On a good note.... Went to the Movies with my daughter a few nights ago to see,,,, Rambo Last Blood....It was awesome and felt great to get out and do something instead of being locked in my bedroom drinking every night. I'm a huge Stallone fan so i was so excited to see that movie AND spend some mother and daughter time together. I have'nt done that in a long time. I missed out on so much because of that poison i was putting in my body. ...No more!!!....
Also noticed my skin is brighter and more clear and my eyes are brighter since i quit drinking.

He kills things with guns, knives his bare hands.
Will eat things that would make a billy goat puke.
If you’re going after John Rambo you’re going to need a good supply of body bags!
Glad you enjoyed your time doing healthy productive stuff.
Well done

That makes the name even more perfect then!
The passing of a parent is hard I know. I still feel my mother's death keenly and that was around 15yrs ago now. I have made a promise to myself that one of the gifts I shall give myself in sobriety is grief counselling. I don't think the sadness will ever go away (and maybe that is as it should be) but I think I can lower the noise a bit and maybe be able to think of her without it being painful one day. I am waiting until I have more sober time under my belt though as that seems prudent.
Lucinda was chosen because my lovely step-dad has always randomly referred to me as Lucy. But I like to think of myself as a posh gal so I glammed it up a little to Lucinda.
How are you doing today?

I spent the evening with an old girlfriend who has also quit drinking. She was drinking 2 bottles of wine a night and stopped on her own around 18 months ago after I gave her the Allen Carr book to read. She says I saved her life which is lovely, but I think she did that! It took me another 15 months of messing about to reach the same place. It was lovely to kick back together alcohol-free.
