"PEANUTS OR PRIZES?"
What's this little guy got in his wagon? Peanuts? Prizes? I'm saying his wagon is full of spiritual prizes - slogans, sayings, and life-saving ideas for sobriety. He's looking them over, taking out what he needs and storing the rest for another day.
What exactly is in there?
- easy does it
- first things first
- live and let live
- but for the grace of God
- think...think...think
- one day at a time
- let go and let God
- this too shall pass
- expect miracles
- I can't...He can...I think I'll let Him (steps 1,2,3)
- if it works, don't fix it
- stick with the winners
- sobriety is a journey....not a destination
- to thine own self be true
- I came, I came to, I came to believe (steps 1,2,3)
- live in the NOW
- if God seems far away, who moved?
- turn it over
- we are only as sick as our secrets
- be part of the solution, not the problem
- sponsors - have one, use one, be one
- keep an open mind
- willingness is the key
- more will be revealed
- don't leave before the miracle happens
- practice an attitude of gratitude
- God is never late
- it takes time
- where you go, there you are
- stay sober for yourself
- what goes around, comes around
- change is a process, not an event
- call your sponsor before, not after, you take the first drink
- its the first drink that gets you drunk
- before engaging the mouth, put the mind in gear
- trying to pray is praying
- EGO - edging God out
- principles before personalities
- HALT - don't get too hungry, angry, lonely, tired
- RULE 62 - don't take yourself so darn seriously!!
- You are not alone
- "Don't die on Third'' (Step!)

FEAR: False Expectations Appearing Real.
Don't fall for that sucker first drink.
Nothing changes if nothing changes.
Tears melt the ice around your heart.
Tears are liquid prayers. (can you tell I cried alot?)
A grateful heart won't drink.
