Friday - February 19, 2016 - AA Discussion Meeting and a SOLEMN PROMISE!

Thought for the day that rang true:

"I cannot consider myself "different" in A. A.; if I do I isolate myself from others and from contact with my Higher Power. If I feel isolated in A.A., it is not something for which others are responsible. It is something I've created by feeling I'm "different" in some way. Today I practice being just another alcoholic in the worldwide Fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous."

I'm fortunate enough to be allowed to come home this afternoon/evening.  I can't think of a better statement to bookend my nearly month-long (DAILY!) meetings with this fine Streamwood group.  I told the remaining folks that had met me, sat at tables with me, and just shared that I will be back in the area on the 29th for my next Counseling meeting.  I PROMISED I would visit again... even if it meant causing doubt on my wife's behalf of my location... I thought I owed them that much.

And top my wife... I posted some lyrics from KISS... as I was feeling sorry for myself... here's one more ESPECIALLY MEANT for you... I look forward to seeing you and the Nugget Monster... I have missed you both so much!

I gotta tell you what I'm feelin' inside,
I could lie to myself, but it's true
There's no denying when I look in your eyes,
Girl I'm out of my head over you

And I lived so long believin' all love is blind
But everything about you is tellin' me this time

It's forever, this time I know and there's no doubt in my mind
Forever, until my life is through, girl I'll be lovin' you forever

 

I hear the echo of a promise I made
When you're strong you can stand on your own
But those words grow distant as I look at your face
No, I don't want to go it alone

I never thought I'd lay my heart on the line
But everything about you is tellin' me this time

It's forever, this time I know and there's no doubt in my mind
Forever, until my life is through, girl I'll be lovin' you forever - yeah!

 

Oooh

I see my future when I look in your eyes
It took your love to make my heart come alive
'Cause I lived my life believin' all love is blind
But everything about you is tellin' me this time

 

It's forever, this time I know and there's no doubt in my mind
Forever, until my life is through, girl I'll be lovin' you forever

 

Oooh

 

I WILL NOT EVER LET THAT DOWN AGAIN!!!!
It's forever, this time I know and there's no doubt in my mind
Forever, until my life is through, girl I'll be lovin' you forever

 

 

Yeah
