SONG OF THE WEEK
I COULDN'T HAVE LOVED YOU MORE BY SADE
I couldn't love you more
If time was running out
Couldn't love you more
Oh right now baby
Take me by the hand come on
Be my darling be the one
I wouldn't want to lay or ever love with another
If everyone in the world
Could give me what I wanted
I wouldn't want for more than I have
I couldn't love you more if I tried
I couldn't love you more boy
I couldn't love you more boy
'Cos darling I'm on your side
I really am on your side
My love I'm on your side
Oh right now baby
I couldn't love you more boy
Stay exactly how your are
I couldn't love you more boy
Couldn't love you more
I couldn't love you more boy
Stay exactly how your are
I couldn't love you more boy
Couldn't love you more
If everyone in the world
Would give me their treasure
I would not want for more
Than I have right now

We've all had times when we felt alienated, when it seemed we had nowhere to turn and no one to turn to. When we don't know which way to turn, when there seems to be no one to help us, even then we're not alone or without help, the presence of God is always with us. When we need strength or courage or comfort, God is there with us as the help we need. Even before we turn to God, His love reaches out to us; His loving Spirit in us hears our cry and answers us. DO I TRULY BELIEVE THAT I NO LONGER NEED TO BE ALONE?
TODAY I PRAY
May I never be alone, even in a place by myself, if I take time to talk to my Higher Power. May He be my companion, my joy, my ever-present help in trouble. May the knowledge of His constant presence fill me with calm, so that I will not fear either the solitude of my own room or alienation in a roomful of people.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Listen for the presence of God.

You might have a good chance at the SSI. For the SSI, you also have to be poor. The fact that your doctor wants you off of work sure helps your case, I would think. You can try it and see.
My biggest problem currently keeping me from trying to get employment is my overwhelming fatigue. I am pre-op and morbidly obese. I am in the waiting period before I can get Medicare
(due to disability), and then can persue weight loss surgery. My current insurance totally excludes WLS.
When I have only myself to talk to, the conversation gets sort of one-sided. Trying to talk myself out of a drink or a pill or a "small wager" or just one chocolate eclair is sort of like trying self-hypnosis. It simply doesn't work; most of the time, it's about as effective as trying to talk myself out of a case of diarrhea. When my heart is heavy and my resistance low, I can always find some comfort in sharing with a true and understanding friend in The Program. DO I KNOW WHO MY FRIENDS ARE?
TODAY I PRAY
May I be convinced that, as part of God's master plan, we were put here to help each other. May I be as open about asking for help as I am ready to give it, no matter how long I have been in The Program. May the experiences of countless others be enough to prove to me that "talking myself out of it" seldom works, that the mutual bolstering that comes from sharing with a friend usually does.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
When I ask for help, I am helping.

PS: Don't ever take Topamax. I can tell you stories, well, ones that I can remember anyway about the 6 weeks of hell. I'll take Excedrin Migraine and just deal with it.

The big problem for some of us is finding somebody that we can trust.
Where to start?
Some days its just not worth waking up and chewing through the leather straps.
I know today that I no longer have to proceed on my own. I've learned that it's safer, more sensible and surer to move forward with friends who are going in the same direction as I. None of us need feel shame at using help, since we all help each other. It's no more a sign of weakness to use help in recovering from my addiction than it is to use a crutch if I have a broken leg. To those who need it, and to those who see its usefulness, a crutch is a beautiful thing. DO I SOMETIMES STILL REFUSE TO ACCEPT EASILY-OBTAINED ASSISTANCE?
TODAY I PRAY
God make me see that it is not a sign of weakness to ask for help, that the comraderie of the group is what makes it work for each of us. Like a vaccine for diphtheria or polio, The Program and the strength of the group have proved themselves as precentives for slips and backsliding. Praise God for the tools of recovery.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Help is as near as my telephone.
