Reality Checks

Reality Checks

• Where ever you go .......there you are
• You are not alone
• Stay sober/clean/abstinent for yourself
• Look for similarities rather than differences
• Remember your last drunk, use, bet etc
• Addiction is incurable, progressive, and fatal
• It takes time to get better
• Depression is anger turned inward
• Control is limited to my own behavior, my own attitudes
• The flip side to forgiveness is resentments
• The elevator is broken-------use the 'steps'
• It isn't the load that weighs us down------it's the way we carry it
• If I think, I won't drink. If I drink, I can't think
• Sick and tired of being sick and tired
• This is a selfish program
• I drank, ate, gambled, etc: too much---too often---too long
• Minds are like parachutes----they won't work unless they're open
• When your head begins to swell your mind stops growing
• A journey of a 1,000 miles begins with the first step
• When a person tries to control their addiction they have already lost control
