These are just a couple of quotes that pop into my head at just the right time. Please feel free to share yours.

"Your AH has a higher power too.............and it's not you!" (I heard that at Al Anon about a month ago. It literally made me LOL because it hit home!)

"Children's lives should be more like Disney World, not Nightmare on Elm Street." (I know I jacked this quote up.....Someone on SR said it, but I don't remember who. Anyway, I remembered the general idea of it and I remind myself of it everytime I even begin to consider going back to my AH's house...and those considerations are getting to be fewer and fewer and further and further in between. So, whoever said it, please feel free to post your actual quote. )

"Wait for the question."

"When you're at the end of your rope, let go."

Nothing changes if nothing changes.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

I won't "should" on you if you won't "should" on me. (say that one fast....lol)

I'd rather have a Frontal Lobotomy than a Bottle in front of Me.

GardenMama

"Give your A the dignity to live her/his own life" and "You are jones-ing for her her just like she's jones-ing for her DoC."

(Some dear SR soul wrote these to me last summer.)

"What others think of me is none of my business."

"Breathe."


A great idea, Faithlove! Thanks.

I find some of mine in the strangest places.

"one is to many and a thousand is never enough. "

I feel this way about days with my addicts as well as the usual NA meaning.

Active addiction vs. recovery:

~ JK Rowling

" It takes a great deal of courage to stand up to our enemies, but even more to stand up to our friends"

"There comes a day when turning the page is the best decision for you, because you realize there's so much more to the book than the page you were stuck on."

Reading the Snake Parable in Leguna's thread reminded me of this one:
