My very favorite is keep coming back, it works if you work it. Keep coming back was about the only thing that penetrated through my mind fog and withdrawals at my first meeting.
People who don't make meetings don't get to find out what happens to people who don't make meetings. Powerful and true!
I don't know if this is a slogan or just something our group says but here goes: You don't grow spiritually walking through a sunny meadow but while trudging in mud up to your knees. Definitely true for me. I tend to coast when things get good and get real devoted when things start turning to sh*t.
"We've ceased fighting anyone or anything". This is the mantra I use when fighting Houston traffic and all my co-idiots on the road.
Not my will but Yours be done.

"When anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help, I want the hand of A.A. always to be there. And for that: I am responsible."
The Responsibility Declaration was written by Al S., a former Grapevine editor and trustee of Alcoholics Anonymous for the 1965 International Convention held in Toronto. Bill W. expanded on the theme in an essay called "Responsibility Is Our Theme" for the July 1965 Grapevine. It became a regular feature of the Grapevine shortly thereafter.

as many times as i have seen this on the wall in our meeting location i like it none the less more and more each day.
"live and let Live." this one particular slogan has brought me more freedom then anything else and for that i am truly grateful.
thanks for the thread.

I'm pretty fond of
"No one among us has been able to maintain anything like perfect adherence to these principles. We are not saints."
Short Form: "Progress, not Perfection"

My wife likes "Live and let live."
I like "Take the cotton out of your ears and stick in your mouth" and "Don't drink even if your a-- falls off." Not.
I actually like AA doesn't keep the stuff from hitting the fan, but it teaches you how to duck.
