Text Box: Words of encouragement Text Box: “Remember that alcoholism is incurable, progressive, and fatal.” Text Box: “ Let it begin with me...” Text Box: Sent in by an AA Member, and old Friend…… OLD TIME AA 1- It's not old behavior if I'm still doing it. 2- If you're looking to have an image in AA, look around at the meetings you go to and take a look at whom you're trying to impress. 3- An alcoholic is a person who wants to be held while he's isolating. 4- Sobriety is the leading cause of relapse. 5- A treatment center is where you go and pay $15,000 to find out that AA meetings are free. 6- The idea that alcoholics, drug addicts, sex addicts, overeaters, smokers, etc, etc, should all just go to AA Meetings because a disease, is a disease, is a disease...was started by a treatment center that only had one van. 7- This is a 'One Day at a Time' program. If you are clean and sober today, you are tied for first place in AA. 8- If drinking is interfering with your work, you're probably a heavy drinker. If work is interfering with your drinking, you're probably an alcoholic. 9- I often obsessively pursue feeling good, no matter how bad it makes me feel. 10- When I was new, I didn't think I had any obsessions until I started thinking about it. Then it was all I could think about. 11- How come if alcohol kills millions of brain cells, it never killed the ones that made me want to drink? 12- From a newcomer reading the 'Promises' for the first time: "We will comprehend the word cemetery and we will know peace." 13- If God were small enough to be understood, He wouldn't be big enough to be God! 14- If you want to quit drinking; you are going to have to quit drinking.
