Hello Booze Busters!!! Finally getting caught up here this morning!
Teardrop - we were posting at about the same time yesterday, and I took off for the dog trial before I saw your post!! Probably a good thing as it wouldn't be very nice to spend the day thinking about Jon Bon Jovi while being at Mr. Doggy's trial now would it!!
The youtube picture is just fine!! Glad you and your daughter had fun...I take it your son likes different kinds of music? Good thing you didn't end up in the middle of that car race!
kaddy, thanks for the recipe ideas. I love stuffed peppers, and I've been looking for new avacado ideas. I printed out your post but I know I will have questions!! Sounds delicious. If you get tired of cooking for your friends there, you can come to my house!!
louise, congrats on 30 days!!!!!
I totally feel your pain about that e-mail. Like Mame said, I think we've all done something similar to that at one time or another - at least I have along with you and Mame.
spedteach - are you still out there?? Is this your 60 day anni???
sothankful, I'm really proud of you for coming RIGHT back and getting on the AF wagon again. I think we've all done Day 1 lots more times than once to finally get it right. (or get tired of doing it over and wearing the fugly green suit!)
Hannah, I'm glad the wedding was fun! What do you have in store for this week? Make sure you consult us here first if hair dye is involved.
Mame, whether it's the hypno or something else in the universe, I'm so glad that you feel calm and are not as tempted to drink. It sure is nice during times when we don't think about it much, isn't it. I haven't been real good lately about listening to the Clearing and Hypno MWO CD's, but I DO use the Sleep Learning CD every night, and the subliminal one often during the day. They sure aren't hurting anything. Hey - I could go for a massage too as a ways to relax if hypno doesn't work!! Thanks for the soup recipe!!
Mame on the counting thing, it seems that different approaches work for different people. I think each person has to figure out what works for them in this mind game of getting free of AL. Here's to an AF July for ALL of us no matter how we get there!!
Pamina, what time will your caserole be done - I'm coming over!! I need some good recipe ideas for sausage if you have some. And I will check out the quinoa thread. I have to really think about that right now as I'm watching the carbs.
MR. DOGGY AND FERGUSON PASSED!!! And they did it in style to. They really looked great on the field. My favorite part of the judges critique was when he said "I don't know who was having more fun out there - you or Ferguson." They have stuff to work on and improve, but they made no major errors and the "work needed" things are not unusual at the BH level, which is entry level for the dogs (and in this case, for the handler!!)
I felt a slight pull from AL after the event was over. Not so much because the beers came out, but because there was something to celebrate. "Celebrating" is just another thing I have to learn to do through practice without AL!! It wasn't too bad, and we didn't stick around very long. Once we left it was OK. So all is good in AFHF land at Day 40!!!! WHEE!!! Hope everyone is having a great day, and planning for an AFHF July!
