Looking for motivational quotes Hi everyone. I'm quite new to al-anon (attended 10 meetings so far) and I'm still finding it hard to "bite my tounge" when hubby goes off on one of his: "you expect too much, grow up, get help" verbal outburts. I'm looking for motivational quotes I can print out and keep. Quotes that encourage me to step back, stay calm, don't say anything, relax, and let him get on with it. Can anyone help? |
You can find thousands of quotes here http://home.att.net/~quotations/12step.html |

I heard a good one last night at my CoDA meeting: I can please only one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow's not looking good either. |

My all time favourite: You must be the change you wish to see in the world. -Mahatma Gandhi. |
i chuckle every time i see that quote one of the members here has on their tagline, if you cant be a good example you will have to be a horrible warning... lol |

blaming is one of the classics.... I like this one by Einstine:"Out of difficulty arises oppertunity" |
Thank you. I found myself lying in bed next to him last night with my eyes closed and chanting "Accept the things I cannot change. Accept the things I cannot change" in my mind, because he was on one of his attacks. |
