The
Sobriety
Wall

 Why not use slogans to start a discussion in your group? |
"Remember When..." I use this when thoughts of drinking again come into my mind, I remember when... the hangovers, the shame, guilt and remorse, the self hatred, the depression, the trouble, accidents and the like. T.M. |
"Apothegms to thinking minds are the seeds from which spring vast fields of new thought, that may be further cultivated, beautified, and enlarged". James Ramsey | ||

The
many hundreds of thousands of recovering people who have passed
through meetings have left behind them many great slogans of sobriety.
These slogans are, in fact, sobriety tools. They are the distilled
(excuse the pun) experiences of recovering people in a snappy and
workable form. They should be available for all
in recovery. Easy does it First things first Live and let live One day at time Kiss---keep it simple stupid This too shall pass If it works.........don't fix it Sobriety is a journey ..........not a destination Poor me.....poor me...... pour me another drink To thine own self be true Live in the NOW Nothing is so bad, a drink won't make it worse Be part of the solution, not the problem Keep an open mind willingness is the key Go for it Do it sober Let it begin with me Just for today Alcoholism is an equal opportunity destroyer You are not alone Make use of the telephone therapy Stay sober for yourself

The
Chinese character for crisis is a combination of two words --
danger and opportunity.
Look for similarities rather than differences Remember
that alcoholism is incurable, progressive, and fatal Try not to place conditions on your sobriety When all else fails, follow directions Count your blessings Share your happiness Respect the anonymity of others Share your pain Let go of old ideas Try to replace guilt with gratitude Change is a process, not an event Sick
and tired of being It's the first drink that gets you drunk Take what you can use and leave the rest Help is only a phone call away One drink is too many and thousand not enough 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 Fear is the darkroom where negatives are developed The first step in overcoming mistakes is to admit them Formula for failure: try to please everyone Sorrow is looking back, worry is looking around A journey of a 1,000 miles begins with the first step Humility is our acceptance of ourselves We're responsible for the effort not the outcome This is a selfish program Keep your sobriety first to make it last Minds are like parachutes----they won't work unless they're open If you turn it over and don't let go of it, you will be upside down.

H.A.L.T. FEAR
= When
a person tries to control their drinking they have already lost
control You
are not required to like
to DO IT 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 in getting ahead Sobriety
delivers everything alcohol promised HOW
= Everyday
is a gift that is why we call it the present If
you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere Every
recovery from alcoholism began with one sober hour Each
and every alcoholic----sober or not----teaches us some valuable
lessons about ourselves and recovery Don't
take yourself so damn seriously!!!!!!! There
are two days in every week which we have no control over----yesterday
and tomorrow .today is the only day we can change. It
is not the experience if today that drives people mad----it is the
remorse or bitterness for something which happened yesterday and the
dread of what tomorrow may bring. Depression
is anger toward inward Serenity is not freedom from the storm but peace amid the storm The
(Secular)
Serenity
Prayer
