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.

    "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."

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

  10. 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.
