AF daily - Monday, September 14th
Hi everyone! Happy UnHungMonday. Special :yougo: to Bear on 30 Days AF AND SF (SmackFree :H Sara that was very funny!) and Marshy :yougo: on your new record!! It's been quite a journey and I love sharing it with all of you. Congratulations to everyone else on your accumulation of days regardless of the number! AFness rocks.
Speedster are you sure you're not twins or something? How on earth do you get done as much as you get done!! You should bottle it and sell it whatever "it" is.
When Mr. Doggy was at the dog training seminar over labor day weekend he sent me a picture of him holding a little German Shepherd Puppy about 3 or 4 weeks old. Our trainer breeds a couple of litters a year so that was not a surprise that people might be playing with the puppies and maybe even going for photo ops. The way puppy names work with the type of German Shepherds we're involved with works is by alphabet. A breeder's first litter is the "A" litter of that year. The next one is the "B" litter for that year and on it goes. (if you breed more than 26 litter a year you might be a puppy mill!) Anyway, Mr. D sent me that pic in my avatar from his phone with a message that said "It's a C litter - what should we name it?" I sent a message back saying "Cain'tHaveAnotherDog would be a good name." I thought he was just joking anyway.
Wellllll after he got home he started with the... "Did you know Fergie is turning 5 this year? He will only have a few years left to do Schutzhund....blah blah." I said "NO. MORE. DOGS." I think I repeated that two or 50 times. But it's Mr. D's hobby and so I said I agreed. What the hell. So Cain't will be coming home in probably 4 or 5 more weeks. Mr. D thinks his name is Cooper. But it's not. It's Cain't.
So anyway, that's the story of how we will soon be a 5 doggy family.
I am mostly amazed at how calmly I have handled this and a few other "life" things going on. No pity parties. No drinking. No upset. No arguments. No drinking. :yougo: That's how I spell success - learning to LIVE in a new and better way. I am very grateful to all of you here and also to AA for the things I have learned there. New skills to deal with LIFE on lifes terms in a more mature and rational fashion than the old days. Is it possible I am growing up???
Hey - on another topic...I was thinking we should have a Friday thread where each next person who posts just adds their sober days to the total from the previous post. Whoever starts the thread says how many days they have. Then the next person ADDS however many days they have to the first persons days for a subtotal. Then the next person adds their days to the previous subtotal for a new subtotal. Etc. It would be fun to see how much UnHungness we can come up with going into the weekends. Or at least I think that would be sort of fun. But I'm a (dirty) old lady and it doesn't take much to entertain me. Let me know what you think.
Anyway...
