• What if......... 
• Yeah but...... 
• If only ....... 
• Remember when............ 
• Around recovery or "in" recovery? 
• In action we got sympathy-----as long as our money lasted. 
• Your 12 step program never opened the gates of heaven to let you in, It did open the gates of hell to let you out 
• Danger sign: when your eyes have wandered from the alcoholic who still suffers and needs help-----to the faults of those whom the program has already helped! 
• There are none too dumb for the 12 step program - but many are too smart 
• I want what I want, when I want it 
• Alcoholism is the only disease that tells you you're all right 
• The first step in overcoming mistakes is to admit them 
• Knowledge of "the answers" never made anyone slip---it was failing to practice "the answers" that were known.
