GOOD MORNING OH'ers.. IT'S FRIDAY ! !
Today I am grateful..
For a good meeting..
For the support I have at the meetings..
For being able to wear pink and feeling secure..
For the sun and the rain..
For life in general..
SONG OF THE WEEK
BEHIND BLUE EYES BY THE WHO
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
And no one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling lonely lies
But my dreams, they aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
i have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free
No one knows what it's like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you
No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through
But my dreams, they aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
i have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free
No one knows what it´s like
To be mistreated
To be defeated
Behind blue eyes
and No one knows how to say
That they're sorry
And don't worry
I'm not telling lies
But my dreams, they aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
i have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes.

05/14 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
"A very popular error -- having the courage of one's convictions; rather it is a matter of having the courage for an attack upon one's convictions," wrote Nietzsche. The Program is helping me to get rid of my old ideas by sharing with others and working the Twelve Steps. Having made a searching and fearless moral inventory of myself; having admitted to God, to myself, and to another human being the exact nature of my wrongs; and having become entirely ready to have God remove all my defects of character -- I will humbly ask Him to remove my shortcomings. AM I TRYING TO FOLLOW THE PROGRAM JUST AS IT IS?
TODAY I PRAY
I pray that I may continue to practice the Twelve Steps, over and over again, if need be. The Program has worked for hundreds and hundreds of recovering chemically dependent people the world over. It can work for me. May I pause regularly and check to see if I am really practicing The Program, as it is set forth.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Step by Step. Day by Day.

05/13 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
When a person opens his eyes each morning and rises through sweaty nausea to face frightening reality with bones rattling and nerves screaming; when a person stumbles through the day in a pit of despair, wishing to die, but refusing to die; when a person gets up the next day and does it all over again -- well, that takes guts. That takes a kind of real, basic survival courage, a courage that can be put to good use if that person ever finds his or her way to The Program. That person has learned courage the hard way, and when that person comes to The Program, he or she will find new and beautiful ways to use it. HAVE I THE COURAGE TO KEEP TRYING, ONE DAY AT A TIME.
TODAY I PRAY
May I put the "guts-to-survive" kind of courage left over from my drinking days into good use in The Program. If I was able to "hang on" enough to live through the miseries of my addiction, may I translate that same will to survive into my recovery program. May I use my courage in new, constructive ways.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
God preserved me to help carry out His purpose.
Just curious... can anyone also relate this to being MORBIDLY OBESE and The Program being WLS and the support here ?? I sure can.. especially when it speaks about bones rattling and nerves screaming.. after walking for awhile, sitting.. and trying to get back up again! We really did have alot of courage and survival skills. If we could do it then.. surely we can do it now to continue our weightloss and maintain it!! As it says above... just find new and beautiful ways to do it..

Happy Hump Day..
Today I am grateful..
For acceptance..
That I am still of service to some..
That I realize that I have been more of a taker than a giver and it is time to give back..
For seeing the light..
That I have people in my life that care..

05/12 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
My courage must come each day, as does my desire to avoid a single drink, a single tranquilizer, a single addictive act. It must be a continuing courage, without deviations and procrastination, without rashness, and without fear of obstacles. This would seem like a large order indeed, were it not for the fact that it is confined to this one day, and that within this day much power is given to me. DO I EXTEND THE SERENITY PRAYER TO MY ENTIRE LIFE?
TODAY I PRAY
May each new morning offer me a supply of courage to last me during the day. If my courage is renewed each day and I know that I need just a day's worth, that courage will always be fresh and the supply will not run out. May I realize, as days pass, that what I feared during the earliest days of my recovery I no longer fear, that my daily courage is now helping me cope with bigger problems.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
God give me courage -- just for today.

Today I am Grateful..
For Kim stepping in and posting for me..
For knowing that temptation is wrong fix to a real need..
For medical tests.. I know that they weren't what I wanted to hear although I needed to hear it.. I have NOT been taking my vitamins regularly in the las two years and I am paying dearly for it right now.. I have some major health concerns (short term memory loss, kidney damage, and several other issues) that are directly related to lack of vitamins.. I beg of you to PLEASE take the vitamins that your doctor prescribes daily.. I look back at the damage I have done to my body and hopefully it can be repaired in some way..
For early morning phone calls and texts..
For seeing a small spark that hopefully will reignite the fire I had for helping others..
For people that believe in me..

05/11 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
Now that I know I can't use bottled courage, I seek and pray for 24-hour courage to change the things I can. Obviously, this isn't the kind of courage that will make me a strong and brave person for life, able to handle any and all situations courageously. Rather, what I need is a persistent and intelligent courage, continuing each day into the next one -- but doing today only what can be done today and avoiding all fear and worry with regard to the final result. WHAT DOES COURAGE MEAN TO ME TODAY?
TODAY I PRAY
May I tackle only those things which I have a chance of changing. And change must start with me, a day at a time. May I know that acceptance often is a form of courage. I pray not for super-bravery, but just for persistance to meet what life brings to me without being overcome by it.

Today I am grateful..
That it is Friday..
For Early Morning phone calls..
For the birds outside..
For my family..
For my mom.. Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there..
SONG OF THE WEEK
HURT BY JOHNNY CASH
i hurt myself today
to see if i still feel
i focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but i remember everything
what have i become?
my sweetest friend
everyone i know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
i will let you down
i will make you hurt
i wear my crown of ****
on my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
i cannot repair
beneath the stain of time
the feeling disappears
you are someone else
i am still right here
what have i become?
my sweetest friend
everyone i know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
i will let you down
i will make you hurt
if i could start again
a million miles away
i would keep myself
i would find a way
