Slogans are wisdom written in shorthand

Some helpful one-liners to remember–

Slogans are wisdom written in shorthand.

Short version of the Serenity Prayer: Lighten up.

Just for today I will try to live through this day only, and not tackle my whole life problems at once.

The lesson I must learn is simply that my control is limited to my own behavior, my own attitudes.

Don’t try to clear away the wreckage of the future.

You can’t speed up your recovery, but you sure can slow it down.

First things first.

Easy does it.

Keep it simple.

This too shall pass.

Practice an attitude of gratitude.

We’re responsible for our effort not the outcome.

It isn’t the load that weighs us down——it’s the way we carry it.

There are none too dumb for recovery but many are too smart.

Religion is for those who fear Hell, spirituality is for those who have been there.

There are two days in every week which we have no control over—-yesterday and tomorrow. Today is the only day we can change.

It is not the experience of today that drives people mad, it is remorse of yesterday and the dread of tomorrow.

Hang in there.
