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 |
