Topic: Dreams of suicide?
I've been drearming for months now about slitting my wrists. It's not something that I think about when I'm awake, or something that I realy think I want to do.
Has anyone else here had recurring dreams of doing harm to yourself?

TWO FOR ONE TODAY... Yesterdays and todays..
03-13 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
All my life, I looked to others for comfort, security and all the other things that add up to what I now call serenity. But I've come to realize that I was always looking in the wrong place. The source of serenity is not outside, but within myself, The Kingdom is within me, and I already have the key. All I have to do is to be willing to use it. AM I USING THE TOOLS OF THE PROGRAM ON A DAILY BASIS? AM I WILLING?
TODAY I PRAY
God gave me the courage to seek out the kingdom inside myself, to find that well-spring within me which has its source in the never-ending, life-giving river of God. May my soul be restored there. May I find the serenity I seek.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
To see the inner kingdom.

03-14 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
One thing that keeps me on the right track today is a feeling of loyalty to other members of The Program, no matter where they may be. We depend on each other. I know, for example, that I'd be letting them down if I ever took a drink. When I came into The Program, I found a group of people who were not only helping each other to stay sober, but who were loyal to each other by staying sober themselves. AM I LOYAL TO MY GROUP AND TO MY FRIENDS IN THE PROGRAM?
TODAY I PRAY
I thank God for the loyalty and fellowship of the group and for the mutuality of commitment that binds us together. May I give to the group in the same proportion that I take from it. Having been a taker during so many of my years, my giving used to be no more than a commodity, for which I expected to be paid in approval or love or favors. May I learn the joy of pure giving, with no strings attached, no expectation of reward.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
A perfect gift asks nothing in return.

Topic: RE: On Shaky Ground
I have cat allergies and was sick with sinus infections since October. I have since had sinus surgery, from which I am still recuperating.
How have you been?

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Topic: 2 Months of Sobriety
I was sick most of the week with a post-operative sinus infection. I just want to share that I had two months of sobriety on March 11th. God and AA are helping me keep sober.

Thanks, Britt. My medication's really starting to help too. I think me and my psychiatrist finally found a combination that works for me. Yay!

Topic: RE: Nine years in recovery, want to have WLS
I wonder if it is safer for you to have the lapband surgery? I know that you have nine years into recovery (congratulations, by the way, that's wonderful!) but, once you don't have food to lean on, your body would absorb alcohol so much differently on the chance you were to relapse if you were to have RNY.
I say this because of the struggle I have gone through with alcohol since having had RNY. I have been sober for over a year now, but it hasn't been easy. I sometimes wonder myself if things would have been different if I had had the lap band instead?
