gptkbp:motto To thine own self be true
But for the grace of God
Don't drink and go to meetings
Don't quit before the miracle happens
Easy does it
Faith without works is dead
Fake it till you make it
First things first
Gratitude is an action word
Half measures availed us nothing
If nothing changes, nothing changes
If you want what we have, do what we do
It works if you work it
Keep coming back
Keep coming back, it works if you work it
Keep it in the day
Keep it simple
Keep it simple, stupid
Keep right sized
Keep the focus on yourself
Let go and let God
Let go or be dragged
Let it begin with me
Let us love you until you can love yourself
Live and let live
Meeting makers make it
Nothing changes if nothing changes
One day at a time
One is too many and a thousand never enough
Principles before personalities
Progress not perfection
Take it easy
Take what you like and leave the rest
Take what you need and leave the rest
The elevator is broken, take the steps
The first drink gets you drunk
Think, think, think
This too shall pass
This, too, shall pass
We are not a glum lot
We are only as sick as our secrets
We don't shoot our wounded
You are not alone
You are not unique
You can't save your face and your ass at the same time
