Silly little woo hoo!

[Noella]

Hi all... just wanted to share here b/c no one else in my life would actually get why I'm thrilled (of course, it's not like I would actually share this part of the last few months with them, but that's another story)

This is my 11th day AF (seems like a lifetime has passed though). We have our recycling picked up Monday mornings here. Usually, I wait until the bf has gone to work, and then run around the house grabbing all the hidden bottles and throw them in the recycling to get rid of the evidence. I always felt panicy because I was SURE I was going to miss one, or that my neighbors would make a comment about the strange random recycling.

Anyway, the recycling truck just came by and I had a momentary "OMG - I forgot to get rid of the evidence" panic. Then I realized - THERE ARE NO BOTTLES!!!! I haven't hidden anything, so I don't have to do that any more!!! YIPPEE!!!!!!!

:yay: :happy: :danthin:

(someone needs to create a snoopy dance icon)

ok, I've finished dancing around the house like an idiot... back to research...

....Maybe one more....

:wave:

*grins like a fool*

ok... better now. Honest...

well done on the 11 AF days Noella.......that is fantastic ! I couldn't agree more, all the hiding & gettting rid of was a royal pain in the ar*e...and exhausting in itself.
Keep up your good work, you sound like you are really in a positive frame of mind & bennefitting from being AF.

Good luck

I swear my recycling used to echo down the neighborhood when they would come pick it up and dump it in their trucks. I would sit and cringe in my house. Excellent job on 11 days Noella!!!

Last week my younger son was helping put out the recycling box and he said "you used to drink a lot of beer before didn't you Dad?"

A) made me feel good - I never thought I would be someone who used to drink "before."

B) made me feel bad - if only he (they) knew how many empty cans DIDN'T make it into the recycling box.

Well done! - Feels good not to be sneaking around hiding things - doesn't it!

Congrats to you. I know that sense of relief not having to worry about people looking through the recyling wondering about the volume consumed in "that house". Also the days of throwing out bottles in dumpsters away from my house are over too. Isn't it freeing?

WELL DONE!
