• Be part of the solution, not part of the problem 
• Use the 24-hour plan 
• Live in the NOW 
• Take the cotton out of your ears and put it in your mouth 
• To keep it (recovery), you have to give it away 
• What goes around, comes around 
• Keep an open mind 
• If you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere 
• To thine own self be true 
• There are two days in every week which we have no control over----yesterday and tomorrow. today is the only day we can change. 
• When wallowing in your self-pity ...... get off the cross! We need the wood 
• Learn a new dance - the old  "Cross - Pot Shuffle" is out of vogue 
• Act as if......... 
• It is not the experience of today that drives people mad----it is the remorse or bitterness for something which happened yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow may bring. 
• Get it ---give it---grow in it 
• Every day is a gift that is why we call it the 'present' 
• Dry and tighten up (financially) 
• Before engaging your mouth, put your mind in gear! 
• Recovery is an education without a graduation 
• Easy does it, but do it 
• When all else fails, follow directions 
• Addicts heal from the outside in.........but feel from the inside out 
• Stick with the winners 
• Look after the Little Things 
• Keep coming back..........it works if you work it 
• Sobriety is a journey ..........not a destination 
• We are only as sick as our secrets 
• Share your happiness 
• Share your pain 
• Count your blessings 
• We're responsible for the effort - not the outcome! 
• Sorrow is looking back, Worry is looking around 
• Formula for failure: try to please everyone 
• Humility is our acceptance of ourselves
