Words To Live By
An easy way to remember the slogans:
Live and Let Live
Easy Does It
But For The Grace of God
Think
First Things First
Is there one particular slogan that you find the most helpful...or that you seem to use most often? Care to give a specific example of how the slogan has helped you?

Not to get into a debate on symantics, GP, but I have always said, "Keep coming", or "Just keep coming"...to meetings, of course. If I just keep coming, and not relapse, I won't have to "Keep coming back." Get it?
I can remember...many years ago...I had not been able to attend one of my regular meetings for a while. When I was finally able to fit it into my schedule again, someone came up to me and loudly said, "Welcome back." I know he meant well; but, I didn't want anyone to think I had "slipped", so I said (just as loudly), "Thanks, but I haven't been anywhere...just had to change my meeting schedule." I'm sure everyone within earshot got the message.
