Saying That You Hear

[Chance]

Yep there are all sorts of sayings that you hear in the rooms of AA and NA. Most I try to apply to my life and some just **** me off LOL>>>But all in all I learn from all of them. What are some that you have heard?

"Don't leave before the Miracle Happens"

"The Miracle has already Happened What are You Waiting For" I made that one up

"If it's not broke why fix it"

"Take what you want and leave the rest" My sponsor told me to take it all and he would decide what I needed or don't need.

"SLIP= Sobriety Looses It's Priority"

HOPE= HELP Other People Everyday"

"Procrastination is like masterbation either way we are F***ed"

"Our minds are like a bent piece of metal, No matter how much you work on it, it will never straighten out completely"

"Just Do The Next Right Thing"

Well my mind is not working so well I will think about some more and be back at ya

Love Vic

"Just Do The Next Right Thing"

I really like that one!

As long as I am doing something positive for myself than I can't go all that wrong (can I?).

Don't know but I thought of two more for now that I have heard

Get rid of excuses and find solutions

A PAT on the back isn't too far away from a kick in the @ss (I thought that was so true, heard on Monday night football)

how about "Give us 90 days, if you don't like it we'll gladly refund your misery"

Another one that I forgot is "All we are, are spiritual beings having Human experiences."
