It wasn’t my drinking, it was my thinking.
Fake it ’til you make it.
Live for today. Yesterday’s history. Tomorrow’s a mystery.
Poor me, poor me, pour me another drink.
Use your brain. It’s the little things that count.
A closed mouth gathers no foot.
Little by slowly.

Sit down, shut up and listen.
Act “as if…”

want to.

The mind is like a parachute, it works better when it’s open.
The only step we have to do perfectly is step one.
Meeting-makers make it.
You can’t save your face and your ass at the same time.
If I don’t let go, I lose my grip.
Steps 1, 2, and 3 condensed: I can’t, He can, so let Him.
We’ll love you until you learn to love yourself.
Don’t give up before the miracle happens.
You never have to drink again.
If you don’t have a Higher Power, borrow mine.
Progress, not perfection.

We are not human beings sharing a spiritual journey, but spiritual
beings sharing a human journey.
Let God save your soul…we’re here to save your ass!
Practice makes progress.
Sometimes you have to get on your knees to rise.

less.

I don’t need to have an opinion about everything.
