EASY DOES IT

FIRST THINGS FIRST

LIVE AND LET LIVE

BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD

ONE DAY AT TIME

LET GO AND LET GOD

THIS TOO SHALL PASS

EXPECT MIRACLES

I CAN'T , HE CAN , I THINK I'LL LET HIM (STEPS 1,2,3)

KEEP COMING BACK, IT WORKS IF YOU WORK IT!

STICK WITH THE WINNERS

KEEP RIGHT SIZE

Sobriety is a journey, not a destination.

Faith without works is dead

POOR ME... POOR ME... POUR ME ANOTHER DRINK

TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE

I CAME;I CAME TO;I CAME TO BELIEVE (STEPS 1,2,3)

LIVE IN THE NOW

IF GOD SEEMS FAR AWAY, WHO MOVED ?

TURN IT OVER

NOTHING IS SO BAD, A DRINK WON'T MAKE IT WORSE

WE ARE ONLY AS SICK AS OUR SECRETS

THERE ARE NO COINCIDENCES

BE PART OF THE SOLUTION, NOT THE PROBLEM

SPONSORS: HAVE ONE... USE ONE... BE ONE

KEEP AN OPEN MIND

WILLINGNESS IS THE KEY

MORE WILL BE REVEALED

YOU WILL BE AMAZED!

KEEP THE PLUG IN THE JUG

DO IT SOBER

JUST FOR TODAY

PASS IT ON

IT'S IN THE BOOK

BEFORE YOU SAY “I CAN'T ,” SAY “I'LL TRY.”

DON'T QUIT 5 MINUTES BEFORE THE MIRACLE HAPPENS

SOME OF US ARE SICKER THAN OTHERS

WE'RE ALL HERE BECAUSE WE'RE NOT ALL THERE

ALCOHOLISM IS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY DESTROYER

PRACTICE AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE

THE ROAD TO SOBRIETY IS A SIMPLE JOURNEY FOR CONFUSED PEOPLE WITH A COMPLICATED DISEASE

God is never late.

HAVE A GOOD DAY, UNLESS OF COURSE YOU HAVE MADE OTHER PLANS

IT TAKES TIME

90 MEETINGS IN 90 DAYS

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

WHERE EVER YOU GO … THERE YOU ARE

DON'T DRINK, READ THE BIG BOOK, AND GO TO MEETINGS

USE THE 24-HOUR PLAN

MAKE USE OF TELEPHONE THERAPY

STAY SOBER FOR YOURSELF

LOOK FOR SIMILARITIES RATHER THAN DIFFERENCES

REMEMBER YOUR LAST DRUNK

REMEMBER THAT ALCOHOLISM IS INCURABLE, PROGRESSIVE, AND FATAL

WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS, FOLLOW DIRECTIONS

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

SHARE YOUR HAPPINESS

RESPECT THE ANONYMITY OF OTHERS

LET GO OF OLD IDEAS

REPLACE GUILT WITH GRATITUDE

CHANGE IS A PROCESS, NOT AN EVENT

TAKE THE COTTON OUT OF YOUR EARS AND PUT IT IN YOUR MOUTH

CALL YOUR SPONSOR BEFORE, NOT AFTER, YOU TAKE THE FIRST DRINK

SICK AND TIRED OF BEING SICK AND TIRED

IT'S THE FIRST DRINK THAT GETS YOU DRUNK

TO KEEP IT, YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT AWAY

THE PRICE FOR SERENITY AND SANITY IS SELF-SACRIFICE

TAKE WHAT YOU CAN USE AND LEAVE THE REST

WHAT IF... YEAH BUT... IF ONLY...

HELP IS ONLY A PHONE CALL AWAY

AROUND AA OR IN AA ?

YOU CAN'T GIVE AWAY WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE

ONE DRINK IS TOO MANY AND A THOUSAND NOT ENOUGH

KEEP COMING BACK

ANGER IS BUT ONE LETTER AWAY FROM DANGER

COURAGE TO CHANGE

EASY DOES IT, BUT DO IT

BRING THE BODY AND THE MIND WILL FOLLOW

ACCEPT YOUR ADMISSION

THERE ARE 12 STEPS IN THE LADDER OF COMPLETE SOBRIETY

FEAR IS THE DARKROOM WHERE NEGATIVES ARE DEVELOPED

BEFORE ENGAGING YOUR MOUTH, PUT YOUR MIND IN GEAR!

I WANT WHAT I WANT WHEN I WANT IT

THERE IS NO CHEMICAL SOLUTION TO A SPIRITUAL PROBLEM

AA IS NOT SOMETHING YOU JOIN, IT'S A WAY OF LIFE

SPIRITUALITY IS THE ABILITY TO GET OUR MINDS OFF OURSELVES

FAITH IS SPELLED A-C-T-I-O-N

A JOURNEY OF A 1,000 MILES BEGINS WITH THE FIRST STEP

HUMILITY IS OUR ACCEPTANCE OF OURSELVES

TRYING TO PRAY IS PRAYING

WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EFFORT NOT THE OUTCOME

EGO=EDGE GOD OUT

KEEP YOUR SOBRIETY FIRST TO MAKE IT LAST

AA WILL WORK IF YOU WANT IT TO WORK

MINDS ARE LIKE PARACHUTES----THEY WON'T WORK UNLESS THEY'RE OPEN

WHAT YOU HEAR AND SEE HERE, STAYS HERE

Alcoholism is a disease that tells you that you don't have it.

IF YOU TURN IT OVER AND DON'T LET GO OF IT,YOU WILL BE UPSIDE DOWN.

SERENITY IS NOT FREEDOM FROM THE STORM BUT PEACE AMID THE STORM

PRINCIPLES BEFORE PERSONALITIES

WHEN YOU DO ALL THE TALKING YOU ONLY LEARN WHAT YOU ALREADY KNOW

THERE ARE NONE TOO DUMB FOR THE AA PROGRAM BUT MANY ARE TOO SMART

WE ALL HAVE ANOTHER DRUNK LEFT IN US BUT WE DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE ANOTHER RECOVERY IN US

TO BE FORGIVEN WE MUST FORGIVE

WHEN WE SURRENDER TO OUR HIGHER POWER, THE JOURNEY BEGINS

KNOWLEDGE OF "THE ANSWERS" NEVER MADE ANYONE SLIP. IT WAS FAILING TO PRACTICE "THE ANSWERS"

H.ungry A.ngry L.onely T.ired

THE 12 STEPS TELL US HOW IT WORKS; THE 12 TRADITIONS TELL US WHY IT WORKS.

IF FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD, THEN WILLINGNESS WITHOUT ACTION IS FANTASY

WHEN A PERSON TRIES TO CONTROL THEIR DRINKING THEY HAVE ALREADY LOST CONTROL

THE TASK AHEAD OF US IS NEVER AS GREAT AS THE POWER BEHIND US

SEVEN DAYS WITHOUT AN AA MEETING MAKES ONE WEAK

Don't carry the alcoholic. Carry the message.

THE RESULTS ARE IN GOD'S HAND

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU PRAY FOR; YOU'RE LIABLE TO GET IT

WE ARE NOT HUMAN BEINGS HAVING SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCES; WE ARE SPIRITUAL BEINGS HAVING HUMAN EXPERIENCES

Remember, nothing is going to happen today that you and God can't handle.

THE TIME TO ATTEND A MEETING IS WHEN YOU LEAST FEEL LIKE GOING

The First Step Is The Only Step That Has To Be Worked Perfectly

THE ONLY THING WE TAKE FROM THIS WORLD WHEN WE LEAVE IS WHAT WE GAVE AWAY

Time wasted in getting even can never be used for getting ahead

Honesty Open Mindedness Willingness

FIRST WE STAYED SOBER BECAUSE WE HAD TO. THEN WE STAYED SOBER BECAUSE WE WERE WILLING TO. NOW WE STAY SOBER BECAUSE WE WANT TO.

EVERYDAY IS A GIFT, THAT IS WHY WE CALL IT THE PRESENT

EACH AND EVERY ALCOHOLIC, SOBER OR NOT, TEACHES US SOME VALUABLE LESSONS ABOUT OURSELVES AND RECOVERY

WE HAD TO QUIT PLAYING GOD

LIVE IN THE HERE AND NOW

In a bar, we got sympathy as long as our money lasted. In AA, we get understanding for nothing!

EVEN MY WORST DAY SOBER IS BETTER THAN MY BEST DAY DRUNK

THE ELEVATOR IS BROKEN, USE THE STEPS

WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS, THE DIRECTIONS ARE IN THE BOOK

TRUST GOD, CLEAN HOUSE, HELP OTHERS

WHEN YOU ARE A SPONSOR, YOU GET OUT OF YOURSELF

IF I SERVE, I WILL BE SERVED

WHY RECOVERY NEVER ENDS: THE DISEASE IS ALCOHOLISM, NOT ALCOHOLWASM!

THE SMARTEST THING AN AA MEMBER CAN SAY IS, "HELP ME!"

YOU ARE EXACTLY WHERE GOD WANTS YOU TO BE

GOD WILL NEVER GIVE YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE

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"

THE AA PARADOXES:
---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
---WE DIE TO LIVE
---FROM DARKNESS COMES LIGHT
---FROM DEPENDENCE WE FOUND INDEPENDENCE

JUST FOR TODAY I WILL TRY TO LIVE THROUGH THIS DAY ONLY, AND NOT TACKLE MY WHOLE LIFE PROBLEMS AT ONCE. I CAN DO SOMETHING FOR 12 HOURS THAT WOULD APPALL ME IF I FELT THAT I HAD TO KEEP IT UP FOR A LIFETIME

THERE ARE TWO DAYS IN EVERY WEEK WHICH WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER; YESTERDAY AND TOMORROW. TODAY IS THE ONLY DAY WE CAN CHANGE.

GOD HASN'T ANY GRANDKIDS

THE ROAD TO DISAPPOINTMENT IS PAVED WITH EXPECTATION

BE NICE TO NEWCOMERS. ONE DAY THEY MAY BE YOUR SPONSOR.

DENIAL IS NOT A RIVER IN EGYPT!

THE FLIP SIDE TO FORGIVENESS IS RESENTMENTS

THERE IS NO MAGIC IN RECOVERY; ONLY MIRACLES

FEAR IS THE ABSENCE OF FAITH

COURAGE IS FAITH THAT HAS SAID ITS PRAYERS
