Pick a slogan for today!
 

Mine for today is Keep it Simple.

Let Go and Let God.

Do one thing nice for myself today. Repeat this tomorrow.

Easy does it.

I don't do al-anon, so I don't know their quotes specifically. However, today I am feeling a little:

"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow."

Yesterday was not awesome, today WILL be better. :)

Oh I didn't pay attention to the instructions. I am also not Al-Anon. So my inputs are not from that.....sorry.

This too shall pass.

A leopard doesn't change his spots

We are only as sick as our secrets.

I also do not have al-anon sayings, but I have my grandma's, and for some reason I like it these days: "Snow does not fall to kill the world, but that every beasty shows its tracks." Perhaps you guys know something more idiomatic.

One day at a time !!

Pain is inevitable, but misery is an option.

(from my dear departed Al-Anon sponsor, Ruth Ann)

Healthyagain, could you explain your grandmother's slogan? I think I know what it means, but I am curious about your translation.

The slogan that changed my perspective is: Accepting abuse is self abuse.

Not from alanon, but its become something of a mantra.

"Only I can change how I feel. Only I have that power over me"

wow.. I was going to say, "Let Go and Let God." Then I read all the other posts and I can't decide :D!

Let Go and Let God

When I am worrying, I am having controlling thoughts about the situation and most of the things we worry about doesn't happen anyway.

Not an Alanon slogan, but used frequently in here.

I used to apply it to ABF, and am finally working on applying it to myself:

It's actions, not words, that matter.

Don't just do something, Sit There.

Basically, what it means is that even when really bad things happen in your life, they have some purpose, and that this is time when people ("beasties") show who they really are.

And I love your slogan. :)

Keep coming back.

And also for me today 'this too will pass'

Take care
