We have all probably heard a recovery slogan a time or two in the rooms of recovery. They are helpful tools when dealing with difficult situations. They are also helpful reminders to keep us grounded in the present; focused on ourselves; and connected to our Higher Power.
I wanted to provide a list of slogans that I found from several Twelve Step programs. These slogans can be applied to almost any problem or issue. Listen to the message.
Honesty gets us sober, tolerance keeps us sober. (Bill W.)
HALT - Don't get too:
- Hungry
- Angry
- Lonely
- Tired
No matter where you go...there you are.
Give us 90 days and if your life doesn't get better, we will gladly refund your misery.
One day at a time.
Keep in the solution - NOT in the problem.
Some ways to say no:
- I have another commitment
- I do not choose to participate
- This is not acceptable to me
- NO, thank you
No is a complete sentence. (Alanon)
Excessive drinking is the symptom of a deeper trouble as coughing is a symptom of tuberculosis. (AA booklet)
Surrender means being willing to follow someone else's direction.
FEAR: False Evidence Appearing Real.
FEAR: Fuck Everything And Run.
FEAR: Face Everything And Recover.
FINE: Feelings Internalized Not Expressed.
Let go and let God
This too shall pass
Let it begin with me
Just for today
Easy Does It
First Things First
Live and let Live
Think......Think.......Think
One Day At a Time
But for the Grace of God
Principles before Personalities
Stay away from the first bet
Look for similarities rather than differences
A journey of a 1,000 miles begins with the first step
The elevator is broken-------use the 'steps'
This is a selfish program
When a person tries to control their addiction they have already lost control
I could go on for days. I hope you find one or more that are helpful for you today. Stay safe, sane, and sober!
Sincerely,
