Directions to AA: Just go straight to hell and make a U-turn.

In AA, being part of something is more important than being the center of attention.

AA is not a sentence; it’s a reprieve.

AA doesn’t open the gates of heaven to let you in, it opens the gates of hell to let you out.

Alcoholic (as defined by self): A piece of crap that the universe revolves around.

An alcoholic refuses to give up a life of failure without a fight.

An alcoholic is someone who wants to be held while isolating.

I may not be much, but I’m all I ever think about.

If an alcoholic could drink like a normal drinker, he’d drink all the time!

Alcohol provokes the desire but takes away the performance.

Only an alcoholic would believe that the solution to loneliness is isolation.

Alcoholics burn their bridges in front of them.

An alcoholic is someone who finds something that works – and then stops doing it!

Alcoholism: Terminal uniqueness!

You will be rich when you know you have enough.

An alcoholic drinking’s three stages: impulsive, compulsive, and repulsive.

An alcoholic alone is slumming.

An alcoholic is not a guy who thinks he’s had one too many, he’s a guy who thinks he’s had one too few!

An alcoholic is a man with two feet firmly planted in mid-air.

Non-alcoholics change behavior to meet goals, but alcoholics change goals to meet behavior.

Alcoholics aren’t afraid to die, they’re afraid to live.

An alcoholic can be in the gutter, yet still look down on people.

Never forget that high bottoms have trap doors.

Alcoholism: If the cure works, chances are you have the disease.

Alcoholism is an equal opportunity destroyer.

Remember that any alcoholic’s bottom just may be six feet under.

Alcoholism comes in people, not in bottles.

Alot of remember when here for me!!! \\//, wendy

Ugh, all too true!

[quietsins]

the one that always strikes me is the one that says "Non-alcoholics change behavior to meet goals, but alcoholics change goals to meet behavior."

that explains exactly what my relationship with my ex was like the last two years. he wanted it all.. and slowly.. he wanted nothing healthy except to protect his addiction.

the final straw was when he touched his hand to my face and said "you better hope i dont find a bar open because i sure do want to drink". blaming me.

i pursue my goals alone and now wish to all who seek recovery... i wish for you the rebirth of dreaming, the rebirth of your spirits, the rebirth of a joy in living.

god bless

I didn't ask for these things, I didn't pray for them and I certainly didn't expect them to come. But they are coming to me now. That's grace. Unexpected, undeserved spiritual gifts... and I am deeply humbled.

Thanks for your post, QS. You speak from the heart and I have only admiration and respect for your compassion and understanding.
