When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me,

speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me,

speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree,

there will be an answer, let it be.

For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see,

there will be an answer. let it be.

Let it be, let it be, .....

And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light, that shines on me,

shine until tomorrow, let it be.

I wake up to the sound of music, mother Mary comes to me,

speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, .....

These lyrics just seemed to fit in for my day today, rough day. I didn't check with Ram for approval, then again TFB.

Just looking for a Packers win tomorrow (minor issue) and hitting a meeting tonight. Lord knows I need the latter.

Bucky........here ya go, my Brother.

Across the Universe.....The Beatles

Words are flying out like

endless rain into a paper cup

They slither while they pass

They slip away across the universe

Pools of sorrow waves of joy

are drifting thorough my open mind

Possessing and caressing me

Jai guru deva om

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world

Images of broken light which

dance before me like a million eyes

That call me on and on across the universe

Thoughts meander like a

restless wind inside a letter box

they tumble blindly as

they make their way across the universe

Jai guru deva om

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world

Sounds of laughter shades of life

are ringing through my open ears

exciting and inviting me

Limitless undying love which

shines around me like a million suns

It calls me on and on across the universe

Jai guru deva om

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world

Jai guru deva

Jai guru deva

Nothings gonna change my world......Peace, Brother. GO PACK!!!!!

I hear ya. I haven't been in a very long time. I need to get back in the habit. Don't need them for the booze anymore but the old noggin can sure use one now and again. I'm sure you understand what I mean. I'm going back to my home group for a meeting or 2 at Christmas......ain't been there in a coupla years. Will be nice and I can pick up my 8 year.

It's not as important that you can't control the beast; moreso that you never allow the beast to control you.

Thanks Lou. Hope this finds you well, too.

Yeppers, sometimes I need to get out of my own head too. Tonight was one of those nights.

Congrats on the 8yr. You're stronger than me. I'm a newbie coming back.

Hmmmm.....

I'm thinking a Padron. How can you wrong with a Padron? (rhetorical question)

I wish I could play the guitar. This a good song for the camp fire with the kids.

OK this thread just officially turned into a gay flowery facebook thing, I'm gonna put on Judas Priest to fix it. Wait... check that... gay... Rob Haltford... ummm... Here's my Man card.

Back to Christmas shopping from my Lazyboy. I'll put on AC/DC if that helps.

It took me a long time to put a few 24 hours behind me. I finally had to hit bottom.......and then I gave up. It was the most amazing thing. At the darkest point in my life....I gave up.....and asked God to help me because I was broken. It may sound strange but I could physically feel the desire to drink leave me. I've never drank since. I've had a craving or 2 and I miss a cold beer on a hot day or a glass of red with a good steak but they are not to be. Actually, the chips or the time mean very little to me. The only thing any of us have is today. If I we were sober today, my Brother, we're winners. Ever wanna chat off line about it, just message me. I don't have all the answers but I do know how to be a an ex-drunk just trying to live life.
