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?

HI,

I feel this slogan is the most important.


KEEP COMING......

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.

I guess what I'm trying to say is it's a matter of interpretation...I'd rather "keep coming" than to "keep coming back".
