SONG OF THE WEEK..

PURPLE RAIN BY PRINCE

Purple Rain
I never meant 2 cause u any sorrow
I never meant 2 cause u any pain
I only wanted 2 one time see u laughing
I only wanted 2 see u laughing in the purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain

I only wanted 2 see u bathing in the purple rain

I never wanted 2 be your weekend lover
I only wanted 2 be some kind of friend
Baby I could never steal u from another
It's such a shame our friendship had 2 end

Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain

I only wanted 2 see u underneath the purple rain

Honey I know, I know, I know times are changing
It's time we all reach out 4 something new
That means u 2
U say u want a leader
But u can't seem 2 make up your mind
I think u better close it
And let me guide u 2 the purple rain

Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain

If you know what I'm singing about up here
C'mon raise your hand

Purple rain Purple rain

I only want 2 see u, only want 2 see u
In the purple rain

MOVIE QUOTE OF THE WEEK..

" KING KONG AIN'T GOT **** ON ME."  FROM TRAINING DAY..

05/20 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
Alcoholism is called the "lonely disease"; almost without exception, alcoholics are literally tortured by loneliness.  Even before the end of our drinking--before people began to shun us and we were "eighty-sixed" from bars, restaurants or people's homes--nearly all of us felt that we didn't quite belong.  We were either shy, and dared not draw near others, or we were noisy good fellows craving attention and approval, but rarely getting it.  There was always that mysterious barrier we could neither surmount nor understand.  Finally, even Bacchus betrayed us; we were struck down and left in terrified isolation.  HAVE I BEGUN TO ACHIEVE AN INNER CALM?

TODAY I PRAY
May I know the tenderness of an intimate relationship with God and the calm I feel when I touch His spirit.  May I translate this tenderness and calm to my relationships with others.  May God deliver me from my lifelong feeling of loneliness and show me how to be a friend.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
God can teach me to be a friend.

05/19 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
"When I was driven to my knees by alcohol, I was made ready to ask for the gift of faith," wrote AA co-founder Bill W.  "And all was changed.  Never again, my pains and problems notwithstanding, would I experience my former desolation.  I saw universe to be lighted by God's love; I was alone no more."  AM I CONVINCED THAT MY NEW LIFE IS REAL AND THAT IT WILL LAST SO LONG AS I CONTINUE DOING WHAT THE PROGRAM AND TWELVE STEPS SUGGEST THAT I DO?

TODAY I PRAY
May God be the ever-present third party in my relationships with others, whether they are casual or involve a deep emotional commitment.  May I be aware that if there is real friendship or love between human beings, God's spirit is always present.  May I feel His spirit in all my human relationships.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
God is the Divine Third.

Congrats!

I love / hate my alcohol. I can't imagine kicking the habit.

Congrats.. I still can't get over the two month hump.. I have decided to quit counting days and just take it one day at a time the way it should be done..
