Careful what you pray for
Turn It Over
I came, I came to, I came to believe (steps 1,2,3)
I can't, He can..........I think I'll let him (steps
1,2,3)
It works if you work it
Faith without works is dead
Just For Today
More will be revealed
Pass It On
Stick with the winners
Principles Before Personalities
Trust god.........Clean house........Help others
Does anybody know what that means!? ....
To thine own self be true
Sobriety is a journey... not a destination
We are only as sick as our secrets
Act as if.........
Expect miracles...
We have a disease that tells us we don't have a
disease
If it works.........don't fix it!
Live in the NOW
Keep Right Size
Honesty without compassion is brutality
I am not much but I am all I think about
There are no coincidences in AA
The disease is alcoholISM, not alcoholWASM!
Be part of the solution, not the problem
Look for similarities, rather than differences
Nothing is so bad, a drink won't make it worse
Sponsors... Have one - Use one - Be one
Some are sicker than others
The steps are not quaaludes
Keep an open mind
Poor me... poor me............ pour me another drink
Willingness is the key
No pain... No gain
Keep the plug in the jug
Do It Sober
Let it begin with me
God is never late
Relapse is not a requirement
Don't leave (quit) 5 minutes before the miracle
happens
Bring the body and the mind will follow
You spot it, you got it
You still spot it.... you still got it
We're all here because we're not all there
Alcoholism is an equal opportunity destroyer
Practice an attitude of gratitude
It's the first drink that gets you drunk
You either is... or you ain't
Decisions aren't forever
Remember your last drunk
You are not alone
Take what you can use and leave the rest
It takes time
“Time” takes time To keep it, you have to
give it away
Go to 90 meetings in 90 days
”90 in 90”
Try it for 90 days, and if you don't like it, we'll
gladly refund your misery
Sick and tired of being sick and tired
Where you go .......there you are
Don't drink, read the big book, and go to meetings
Walk slow, drink water, read the Big Book
Use the 24-hour plan
The Secret: one alcoholic talking to another.
Take the cotton out of your ears and put it in your
mouth
Try not to place conditions on your sobriety
When all else fails, follow directions
Make use of the telephone therapy
None of us got here form drinking too much coffee
We have a disease that tells us we don't have a
disease
We have a living problem, not a drinking problem
We have a thinking problem, not a drinking problem
Call your sponsor before, not after, you take the
first drink
What goes around, comes around
Change is a process, not an event
Pain is the touchstone of progress
My daily sobriety is contingent on my spiritual
condition
The road to sobriety is a simple journey for
confused people with a complicated disease
Let go of old ideas
AA spoils your drinking!
Respect the anonymity of others
Backsliding begins when knee-bending stops
Try to replace guilt with gratitude
AA is an education without graduation
Take time to think the thing through
The person with the most sobriety at a meeting is
the one who got up earliest that morning
We all have another drunk left in us but we don't
know if we have another recovery left in us
To be forgiven we must forgive
The 12 Steps tell us how it works; the 12 Traditions
tell us why it works.....
Help is only a phone call away
There is a God and I'm not it
Sobriety delivers everything alcohol promised Around
AA or in AA ?
You can't give away what you don't have
One drink is too many and thousand not enough
The first step is the only step a person can work
perfectly
Accept Your Admission
Have the Courage To Change
H.A.L.T.- Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired
You are not required to like it, you're only
required to DO IT
We in AA don't carry the alcoholic; we carry the
message
We had to quit playing God
We are not human beings having spiritual
experiences; we are spiritual beings having human experiences
Work the program from the waist up
12 Step Recovery didn't open the gates of heaven to
let me in, it opened the gates of hell and let me out
H.O.W.: honesty, open-mindedness, and willingness
First we stayed sober because we have to, then we
stay sober because we are willing to, finally we stay sober because we
want to
Everyday is a gift that is why we call it "The
Present"
Every recovery from alcoholism began with one sober
hour
Don't compare... Identify
Don't intellectualize... Utilize
Even my worst day in sobriety is better than my best
day drunk
RULE 62: Don't take yourself so damn
seriously!!!!!!!
AA has a wrench to fit every nut that walks through
a meeting room door
Live in the here and now
How does one become an "old-timer"? Don't
drink and don't die!
Faith is our greatest gift, Sharing with others our
greatest responsibility
If you want to drink, That is your business, If you
want to quit, that is AA's business
The elevator is broken... Use the steps
Let it begin with me
When all else fails... The directions are in the big
book
Anonymity is so important it's half of our name
All you need to start your own AA meeting is a
resentment and a coffee pot!
Live in the NOW
The "War" is over
AA is not something you join, It's a way of life
God: Good Orderly Direction
Be as enthusiastic about AA as you were about your
drinking
You received without cost, now give without charge
Humility is our acceptance of ourselves
Trying to pray is praying
Get it ---give it---grow in it
This is a selfish program
Ego: Edge God Out
Keep your sobriety first to make it last
I drank: too much---too often---too long
Religion is for those who fear
god.........spirituality is for those who have been to hell and back
There are no atheists in foxholes
You are exactly where god wants you to be
God will never give you more than… You can handle
Slow but sure
In AA we say a "coincidence" is a miracle
in which god chooses to remain anonymous
It takes the good and bad AA meeting----the good and
bad AA talk -----to make this fellowship "work"
Give "Time".......time
From weakness comes strength
We forgive to be forgiven
We give it away to keep it
We suffer to get well
We surrender to win
From darkness comes light
From dependence we found independence
Slippers in AA use the R.D.P.---Revolving Door
Policy
There is a God and I'm not it
The road to disappointment (resentment) is paved
with expectation
Be nice to newcomers .........one day they may be
your sponsor
Denial is not a river in Egypt!
Guilt is the gift that keeps on giving
Depression is anger toward inward
Alcoholics heal from the outside in.........but feel
from the inside out
If it is meant to be...........I can't stop it
If it isn't god's will ............I can't make it
happen
What you hear here, who see here… let it stay
here…. Alcoholism is the only disease that tells you you're all
right
