I bet you thought I was going to give you some quotes from the Grapevine,...right?
Wrong! "Heard it through the Grapevine" just sounded so catchy I knew it would grab your attention.
We've all heard them. Those little gems that are accidents at the moment they are spoken but somehow hold a sacred truth of their own.
Those short phrases that are so suddenly enlightening.
Here's some of my favorites. Send me some of yours!
"Believing in God is easier than coming up with bail money!"
Our leaders are but trusted serpents.
Our leaders are but twisted servants.
Came to believe that our wires had become unmanageable.
"Please help me start this meeting with a moment of violence, followed by the serenity prayer!!"
Sought through prayer and medication to improve our conscious contact with GOD.
Came to believe that a powder greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
...and c) that God could and would if he were sober.
...give us 90 days and if you don't like it your misery will be promptly refunded
We have a friend who after listening to an inspirational speaker went to the speaker after the meeting to voice his appreciation and with a slip of the tongue said, "I want to SPANK you for speaking."
In describing ones feelings prior to recovery, one said, "I had a huge gut in my hole!"
Thoroughly have we seen a person fail who has rarely followed our path.
...and the result was nil until we let go of the Absolute.
...lest problems of money, puberty, and prestige divert us from our primary purpose.
Made a searching and fearful moral inventory of ourselves.
That feeling of usefulness and self-pity will disappear.
Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or their mothers.
God could and would if he wore socks!
Rarely have we seen a person who has thoroughly followed our path. Those who do, recover!
We are like men who have lost their legs . . . we never have to buy a pair of shoes again.
God Grant Me the Serenity...
To Accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
and the Wisdom to know who's different.
Send us your jokes
