Pause For Thought

[MajestyJo]

Heard at meetings:

"I believe G-d wants every alcoholic sober. The miracle happens when the alcoholic wants that too."

"Being on the wagon is just transportation between two drunks."

"Alcoholism is a lot like pregnancy--you're no more pregnant at eight months than you are at conception--it only shows more."

"I'm grateful G-d gave me mercy instead of justice."

"I don't like stoplights, but I still DO what they say!"
(think about that one...LOL)

And one of my favorites:

"People keep telling me to 'get in touch' with my inner-child. I don't NEED to get in touch with my inner-child! I AM my inner-child! What I NEED is to get in touch with my outter-adult!"

atience is finding something to do while you wait."

"Lord---please remove her brain. Amen." (you'd think that I think too much, huh?! LOL)

"Experience gives you the test first and the lesson afterwards."

And:

"The steps keep me from killing myself, the traditions keep me from killing everybody else!"

"The difference between a winner and a whiner is the sound the 'I' makes."

"I do NOT have to attend every arguement I'm invited to." (yep, that one worked for me to hang on to!)

"If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague!"

"If at first you don't succeed--you're running about average."

"Fate is what happens to you--destiny is what you do with it."

And....."Rudeness is a weak mans imitation of strength." Think about that one...

imitations are opportunites to open new doors."

"Be kind to your enemies--it'll drive them crazy!"

"I LIKE getting a good jump on worrying about something." LOL

And one from Karl C who taught me a whole lot--"The difference between a demand and a request is humility."

~graced~

I had to learn to apply the traditions to live long enough to work the steps.

I believe in miracles, I am one!

Don't critize, utilize.

Hesitate and meditate.

THINK THINK THINK - I can't work that slogan, I can't do three things at once.

A little thought of yesterday, a little thinking of tomorrow and keep your thoughts in today.

F - friends

I - me, myself and I

N - Need

E - Everyone (of them).
