Thumbs up Hi Everyone AKA Luckyv2

Hey everyone I am still Vic I don't think that I want another AKA on that part of my life today although one time in my life I did change my name and thought that would be the thing that would help me to change. NOT!

I feel as if I owe an explanation as to why I have changed my user name to Chance instead of keeping it Luckyv2. The reason that I started as Luckyv2 was because when I joined here at SR I had never ran a computer and at the time I had a dog named Lucky that was my sobriety dog (or at least one of them) Anyways the Lucky was for him and the V was for me and the 2 represented that us two would always be together. However Lucky has been gone for a long time and is in doggy heaven.

I have a new friend now and his name is Chance and I have had him for quite a while now. I didn't know if changing my user name to Chance would be disrespectful to Lucky and someone (a good friend) told me that this was a way for me to know from Lucky that he feels safe now that I have found Chance. So he is at rest and he will always be a part of me but I think that this is another chapter in my book on recovery and the path in which I am going.

SOOOO I am me and I will continue to be a part of SR Thanks.....for all of you that help me each day to remember that life is precious each and everyday.


With Love and Respect

Vic

I would think Lucky is proud of his human. Seems that Lucky trained you well.

Nice piece of recovery Vic. Learning to let go doesn't mean we forget. I still remember Lucky that I had back 35 years ago. They stay in our heart and now you are sharing his love with Chance.

Yes Lucky is proud of his human for sure.

Awe...what a sweet doggie!
Vic, I have to share with you...
I check the new posts often and I saw you had requested a name change.
Then next thing I see is a poster named Chance asking for the same and I thought "Is everyone changing names today?"
Took a minute to compute...the task had been done.

I think what you did is a sweet gesture to all involved.

((((hugs)))
