AA slogans, sayings, and assorted inspirations
The steps keep us from suicide; the traditions keep us from homicide. The only thing alcoholics do in moderation is the 12 steps! The elevator is broken - take the steps! Step 13: My life is unmanageable, and I want to share it with you. It's alcohol-ism, not -wasm. Insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Gossip hurts - and sometimes kills. Pain is necessary, suffering is optional! If nothing changes, nothing changes. If you do what you always did, you'll get what you always got. Some things have to be believed to be seen. Feelings aren't facts!!! In AA, first we remove the anesthesia, then we operate. Fellowship is the meeting after the meeting. Let us love you until you learn to love yourself. Isolation is the dark room where we develop our 'negatives'. Compare and despair. Don't compare you insides to other people's outsides. Let go or get dragged. If your spinning your wheels, try getting out of the driver's seat. If your a$$ falls off, pick it up, put it in a paper bag, and carry it to a meeting. Remember the cost of your last drink or drug when observing the 7th tradition. Take an action, then let go of the results. Carry the message, not the mess. Don't tease your disease. It's the first car of a train that kills you, not the caboose. Relapse is NOT a requirement. Relapse begins long before you pick up the drink/drug. If you hang around a barbershop long enough, eventually you'll get a haircut. Those who matter, don't mind; those who mind, don't matter. Expectations are preconceived resentments. Serenity isn't freedom from the storm; it is peace within the storm. Don't speak unless you can improve on silence. You don't need to "find God"; He isn't lost. Tell it to your sponsor, or you will be telling it to a bartender. Surrendering means you don't have to fight any more. Surrender Dorothy! I didn't use drugs, drugs used me. You can be just a crazy sober as you were drunk, you'll just remember it the next day. AA Sayings - The Complete? List - "Easy Does It", "Keep it Simple Stupid", and many more.
