“Keep coming back. It works if you work it.”
One I’ve been told many times, when I’ve not wanted to fully commit is your seat is always here for you but you can get a full refund of pain and misery if you want, no mincing words and extremly true words
“There is Nothing a drink won’t make Worse!”
Easy does it
First things first
Take what you like and leave the rest
Oh this is good!!!
At a meeting a lady told her story of going on a cruise. Welcomed onto the ship and offered a glass of champagne. She felt the wobble and rang her sponsor: “I don’t know if I’ll get through this…500 drinkers in front of me”… Sponsor replied “500 drinkers in front of you, 1 million alcoholics behind you”
Beautiful!!!
Thank you @Bootz ill try that. I’m a bit behind on my reading as I’ve been working a ton the last few days. I’m going to try to get back in here later to catch up! Thank you!
Sponsor said, "only 3 ways we’all end up… locked up, covered up or sobered up. "
On step 4 and 5 work
Give up all hope for a better past
Love that one! One of my struggles in sobriety is clinging to the past, so I’m going to remember this. Might even get it tattooed.
Something that the person that runs my home group says to at least one person at the end of every meeting
“If ya feel like ya need a drink then swallow your 24hr chip”
After one meeting when he said that I shouted back “If I can do that I don’t need a drink I need a doctor!”
That is the best description of surrender I’ve ever seen! It expresses exactly what I felt the day I surrendered and got my message.
1 is not enough 1000 too many
Oops! You got it backwards …One is too many and a thousand is never enough
“I can go to church to try save my soul, but i go to AA to save my a$$.”–G
Only 3 ways we get out of this disease- locked up, covered up or sobered up.
I got a good one I heard tonight at a meeting. If my right hand is holding Alcoholics Anonymous, and my left hand is holding my higher power, then I can’t pick up a drink.
I overheard an old timer tell another person “Don’t believe your own magnificent BS” added it to my growing collection lol
Got another one. “ do you want to be happy or right?”
