Heard at a meeting


  • Any drunken bum can get into AA, but to get into Al-Anon, you've got to know someone.
  • You don't have to like the situation; You just have to like yourself in the situation.
  • I should be doing something different. This is an example of self-abuse.
  • People act differently when you give them the slightest acknowledgment.
  • Happiness is a by-product of living the right kind of life.
  • Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect, it just means you've
    decided to see beyond the imperfections.

    "I should be doing something different. This is an example of self-abuse. "

    "Happiness is a by-product of living the right kind of life.
    Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect, it just means you've
    decided to see beyond the imperfections."

    these two hit a chord with me- thanks for sharing.

    Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

    The first one is a little mean-spirited. I like the rest of them, though.

    LOVE these sayings -- especially the second one. I had a hard time with this when I was at a bar (for the first time in a LONG time) on Friday night. I didn't like the situation and I turned it into not liking myself, which was not the way to handle it. Great stuff here.

    Love these. My favorite was you don't have to like the situation, just like yourself in the situation. (Hugs)Indigo
