T.I.M.E. - Things
I Must Learn
Progress not
perfection.
Change
the things I can.
AA
slogans, sayings, and assorted inspirations
The steps
keep us from suicide; the traditions keep us from homicide.
The only thing
alcoholics do in moderation is the 12 steps!
The elevator is
broken - take the steps!
Step 13: My life is
unmanageable, and I want to share it with you.
It's alcohol-ism,
not -wasm.
Insanity: doing the
same thing over and over and expecting different results.
Gossip hurts - and
sometimes kills.
Pain is
necessary, suffering is optional!
If nothing changes,
nothing changes.
If you do what you
always did, you'll get what you always got.
Some things have to
be believed to be seen.
Feelings aren't facts!!!
In AA, first we remove the anesthesia, then we
operate.
Fellowship is the meeting after the
meeting.
Let us love you until you learn to love
yourself.
Isolation is the dark room where we develop our
'negatives'.
Compare and despair.
Don't compare you insides to other people's
outsides.
Let go or get dragged.
If your spinning your wheels, try getting out
of the driver's seat.
If your ass falls off, pick it up, put it in a
paper bag, and carry it to a meeting.
Remember the cost of your last drink or drug
when observing the 7th tradition.
Take an action, then let go of the
results.
Carry the message, not the mess.
Don't tease your disease.
It's the first car of a train that kills you,
not the caboose.
Relapse is NOT a
requirement.
Relapse begins long before you
pick up the drink/drug.
If you hang around
a barbershop long enough, eventually you'll get a haircut.
Those who matter,
don't mind; those who mind, don't matter.
Expectations are
preconceived resentments.
Serenity isn't
freedom from the storm; it is peace within the storm.
Don't speak unless
you can improve on silence.
You don't need to
"find God"; He isn't lost.
Tell it to your
sponsor, or you will be telling it to a bartender.
Surrendering means
you don't have to fight any more.
Surrender
Dorothy!
I didn't use drugs,
drugs used me.
You can be just a
crazy sober as you were drunk, you'll just remember it the next day.
