• Poor me.....Poor me...... Pour me a drink! 
• It's the "first" drink that gets you drunk 
• One alcoholic talking to another........ 
• Do it sober 
• Every recovery from addiction began with one sober Minute 
• The first step is the only step a person can work perfectly 
• you are not required to like it, you're only required to DO IT 
• Your 12 step program will work if you want it to work 
• Keep coming back 
•         If you want to drink-----that is your business,  if you want to quit-------that is our business
•         Don't compare---identify, don't intellectualize----utilize
•         Stay away from the First Drink, Drug, Bet (apply your specific addiction here) 
• Nothing is so bad, using won't make it worse 
• Most folks commit suicide with a knife and fork (Eating disorders) 
• First we stayed sober because we have to... then we stay sober because we are willing to.... finally we stay sober because we want to... 
• One drink is too many and thousand not enough 
•         Try not place conditions on your sobriety 
•         Bring the body and the mind will follow 
•         We all have another drunk left in us but we don't know if we have another recovery in us 
•         Be as enthusiastic about recovery as you were about your addiction
