03/23 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
The Program teaches us, through the experience, strength and hope of its fellowship, that the worst situation imaginable does not warrant a return to our addiction.  No matter how bad a particular situation or set of cir****tances, the return to our old ways for even a minute will assuredly make it worse.  AM I GRATEFUL FOR THE SHARING AND CARING OF THE PROGRAM?

TODAY I PRAY
May I insist that no stone can be heavy enough to drag me back down into the pool of my addiction.  No burden, no disappointment, no blow to pride or loss of human love is worth the price of returning to my old way of life.  When I harbor thoughts that life is "too much" for me, that no one should be expected to "take so much and still remain sane"  or that I am "the fall guy," let me listen for the tone of my complaints and remember that I have heard that whine before -- BEFORE I concluded that I was powerless over the chemical and gave my will over to the WILL OF GOD.  Such wailing sets me up for getting high again.  May God keep my ears alert to the tone of my own complaining.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Hear my own complaints.

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.

Good morning OH'ers.. IT'S FRIDAY ! !

Today I grateful..

For Friday..

For understanding..

For counting my blessings

For knowing my tool still works

For uncluttering my room..

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

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."
