• AA spoils your drinking! 
• In AA we get understanding------for nothing!

• Even my worst day in sobriety / clean is better than my best day drunk / using 
• When all else fails.........the directions are in the Big Book (Alcoholics Anonymous) 
• If we don't grow, we gotta go 
• Read AA approved literature. Other books and materials, while they may be excellent, are usually only one individuals slant on a subject. 
• All you need to start your own AA meeting is a resentment and a coffee pot!! 
• Why recovery never ends: the disease is alcoholISm, not alcoholWASM! 
• The AA way of life is meant to be bread for daily use, not cake for special occasions 
• The smartest thing an AA member can say is, " help me " 
• It takes the good and bad AA meeting----the good and bad AA talk -----to make the fellowship "work" 
• 3 A's in AA-----affection (thoughtfulness) -----attention (listening) -----appreciation (gratitude) 
• Slippers in AA use the RDP---revolving door policy 
• AA works for people who believe in god AA works for people who don't believe in god AA NEVER works for people who believe they ARE god
