"I'm a W.C.S. person. That's Worst Case Scenario"

"I used to shoot up and throw up, now I suit up and show up."

"I always look for the hardest way to do the easiest thing."

"If you don't hear what you need to hear, say what you need to hear."

"A day without sunshine is like night."

"The only weapon that becomes sharper with constant use is the tongue."

IO Storm · 05-28-2009, 01:03 PM

Here's one I wish more folks would keep in mind...even me!

"What you hear here..stays here."

IO Storm · 05-28-2009, 01:05 PM

Sorry, AA Sharon..I repeated your "Keep It Simple!"

I do love that one...

IO Storm · 05-28-2009, 01:11 PM

Think, think, think (before you take a drink)

Don't drink no matter what

Threshold · 05-31-2009, 01:16 PM

Integrity is a labor that births few regrets

jamdls · 06-01-2009, 01:58 PM

KISS
Keep It Simple Stupid

Wolfchild · 06-01-2009, 02:25 PM

Go to a meeting even if your ass is falling off! We'll help you put it back together!

Saavik · 06-02-2009, 10:21 AM

Livers are much more expensive than endless glasses of pink lemonade and iced tea.

Yes! I DO remember what I did last night! How cool is that?!

Purrs,
Saavik

My signature says it all.

There is nothing that a drink won't make worse.

Puddy · 06-05-2009, 03:18 PM

"Trust God, Clean House, and Help Others"

i.e. Live the Program -

because recovery slogans alone will get you loaded.

Wolfchild · 06-10-2009, 08:50 PM

We are all here because we are not all there!

espresso · 06-11-2009, 12:07 AM

"Would you rather be right or happy?"

Latte · 06-11-2009, 12:32 AM

I've been singing Joe Walsh's One Day At A Time to myself for the last few months. My husband put it on my Ipod for me.

JDSOBER · 06-12-2009, 11:46 PM

Even if your @ss falls off pick it up and put it in a brown paper bag and carry it to the meeting...
Lack of power that was our dilema...
Nothing changes if nothing changes...
Think,think, think....yes God gave us brains use it!
Take the cotton out of your ears and put it in your mouth...

Wolfchild · 06-19-2009, 08:00 AM

Stick and stay and you won't go away!

DaveBB164 · 06-19-2009, 12:51 PM

We have three little mottoes which are apropos. Here they are:

First Things First
Live and Let Live
Easy Does It.

bugsworth · 06-19-2009, 12:54 PM

I love this one...sums it all up for me.

Get busy living, or get busy dying.

Abstinence is NOT DRINKING and feeling bad about it.

Recovery is NOT DRINKING and feeling good about it.

Believe808 · 06-22-2009, 06:11 PM

My favorite, Breathe in faith, Breathe out fear

espresso · 06-23-2009, 10:17 AM

Resentment is like taking poison and expecting the other person to die

DePompadour · 06-23-2009, 04:22 PM

"Compare and Despair" is my favorite slogan.

In the beginning, when I was first going to meetings, I was still in a state of denial. I listened to a lot of people's stories (when I could actually start paying attention) and said to myself "Well, maybe I don't really have a problem because I never crashed a car." I relayed those thoughts to my sponsor and she told me, "Compare and despair," which means, don't try to validate your experience by comparing your journey to other people's.

IO Storm · 06-23-2009, 07:54 PM

It works if you work it and it won't if you don't!

espresso · 06-24-2009, 12:17 AM

Take the cotton out of your ears and put it in your mouth.

IO Storm · 06-24-2009, 12:43 PM

Lol "Spressy! I had a sponsor that said that to me quite a lot...I fired her.

Wish I hadn't.
