03/22 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
Once in a great while, I find myself thinking that perhaps things weren't quite so bad as they seemed to be.  At such moments, I force myself to realize that my illness is talking to me, trying to tempt me into denying that I am, in fact, afflicted with an illness.  One of the key action steps of The Program is that we give our illness to God as we understand Him, accepting our powerlessness in the face of His greater Power.  DO I BELIEVE THAT THE GRACE OF GOD CAN DO FOR ME WHAT I COULD NEVER DO FOR MYSELF?

TODAY I PRAY
May I know that much of our lives depends on faith.  For we cannot know the limits of space and time -- or explain the mysteries of life and death.  But when we see God working through us -- and through others who have found new life in The Program -- it is all the evidence we need to know that He exists.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
The Big Wheel runs by faith.

Topic: RE: Any WLS patients dealing with BPD?
hi i was browsing posts and saw this one. i was diagnosed with BPD and bi-polar disorder about two years ago. i keep trying to "get out" of my diagnosis by "trying to prove" to my therepists/doctors that i dont have these things.. but it never works. i do fit all the symptoms so here i am.

im on an antidepresant, antianxiety, and mood stabilizer. i also have been seeing the same therepist once a week for over a year (for someone who either loves or hates.. this is a big thing!!). ssince surgery, ive been having trouble getting in all my meds. and have actually not taken my mood stabilizer at all i can def tell. lol.

SONG OF THE WEEK

DON'T SPEAK BY NO DOUBT..

You and me
We used to be together
Everyday together always
I really feel
That I'm losing my best friend
I can't believe
This could be the end
It looks as though you're letting go
And if it's real
Well I don't want to know

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts

Our memories
Well, they can be inviting
But some are altogether
Mighty frightening
As we die, both you and I
With my head in my hands
I sit and cry

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts

It's all ending
I gotta stop pretending who we are...
You and me I can see us dying...are we?

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Don't tell me cause it hurts!
I know what you're saying
So please stop explaining

Don't speak,
don't speak,
don't speak,
oh I know what you're thinking
And I don't need your reasons
I know you're good,
I know you're good,
I know you're real good
Oh, la la la la la la La la la la la la
Don't, Don't, uh-huh Hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush
don't tell me tell me cause it hurts
Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush don't tell me tell me cause it hurts

MOVIE QUOTE OF THE WEEK

FROM PULP FICTION

Jules: I'll just walk the earth.
Vincent: What'cha mean walk the earth?
Jules: You know, walk the earth, meet people... get into adventures. Like Caine from "Kung Fu."

3/19 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
I know today that "stopping in for a drink" will never again be -- for me -- simply killing a few minutes and leaving a buck on the bar.  In exchange for the first drink, what I'd plunk down now would be my bank account, my family, our home, our car, my job, my sanity, and probably my life.  It's too big a price, and too great a risk.  DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR LAST DRUNK?

TODAY I PRAY
May I be strong in the knowledge that God's spirit is with me at all times.  May I learn to feel His presence.  May I know that nothing is hidden from Him.  Unlike the world which approves or disapproves of my outward behavior, God sees all that I do, think or feel.  If I seek to do His weill, I can always count on His reward for me -- peace of mind.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
God knows all.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

03/17 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
"Lead us not into temptation," we pray, for we know with certainty that temptation lurks around the corner.  Temptation is cunning, baffling, powerful -- and patient; we never know when it will catch us with our guard down.  Temptation could come in the siren song of a four-color advertisement, the fragment of a half-remembered song or, more obviously, in the direct urgings of another person.  We must remain forever vigilant, remembering that the first drink gets us drunk, that the first obessive bite will likely trigger an overeating orgy, that the first roll of the dice could well destroy our lives.  AM I AWARE OF MY NUMBER ONE PRIORITY?

TODAY I PRAY
God, lead me out of temptation -- whether it is the jolly-but-alcoholic abandon of my peers at a special-occasion celebration, the pressure from my friends to "get in the spirit" of a party, the familiar aura of an apartment where joints are passed around, the sound of rattling dice, the smell of a bakery.  May I know the limits of my resistance and stay well within them.  May my surrender to the will of God give me whole new meaning to that old phrase, "Get in the spirit."

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Get in the spirit.

Thanks so much for the encouragement and I know your surgery will go well and you will do great.
After all of my post and responses I feel so much better about everything. I have even made an appointment with a therapist and hopefully I can get to a better place about everything. But only in time will I tell, lol. I hope you and your guy blossom and he is true because being single out here sucks and it would be a blessing if truly realizes and appreciates the beauty on the inside of you. And if he does now he will always, so no worries. K? K.

Thanks and please keep in touch, I need all the friends I can get.
