The only requirement for #AA membership is a desire to stop drinking. #Tradition3

There are cases where our ancient enemy, rationalization, has stepped in and has justified conduct which was really wrong. #AA #12and12

We are both depending upon God and our use of the Alcoholics Anonymous program to help us make a success of this joint undertaking. #Recovery #AA

I knew that this man had something. In that short period he built within me something that I had long since lost, which was hope. #Sponsor #BigBookStories

We can share in the laughter and tears of our many friends, and most important, we can share our #AA way of life. #BigBook

I saw for the first time that those who really believed, or at least honestly tried to find a Power greater than themselves, were much more composed and contented than I had ever been. #BigBookStories #HigherPower

All of us in #AA know the tremendous happiness that is in our #sobriety, but there are also tragedies. #BigBookStories

I get my greatest thrill of accomplishment from the knowledge that I have played a part in the new happiness achieved by countless others like myself. #BigBookStories #AA

I want to keep this life of peace, #serenity, and tranquility that I have found. #AA #BigBook

One of the most fundamental things I have learned is to pass on our message to other #alcoholics. That means I must think more about others than about myself. #BigBook

I told myself it was because of fate, because everyone was against me, because things weren’t going well. I sometimes thought that God did not exist. #Alcoholism #BigBook

I still go to meetings, because I like to go. I meet the people that I like to talk to. Another reason that I go is that I’m still #grateful for the good years that I’ve had. #AA #BigBook

I was willing to admit to myself that I had hit bottom, that I had gotten hold of something that I didn’t know how to handle by myself. #Powerless #Step1 #AA

These minutes and sometimes hours spent in self-examination are bound to make all the other hours of our day better and happier. #AA #12and12

There will be those who ought to be dealt with just as soon as we become reasonably confident that we can maintain our #sobriety. #Amends #Step9

This attitude, of course, is the end result of purposeful forgetting. It is an attitude which can only be changed by a deep and honest search of our motives and actions. #Alcoholism #12and12

When we were frustrated, even in part, we drank for oblivion. Never was there enough of what we thought we wanted. #Alcoholism #AA

Delay is dangerous, and rebellion may be fatal. This is the exact point at which we abandon limited objectives, and move toward God’s will for us. #HigherPower #AA

It is plain for everybody to see that each sober #AA member has been granted a release from this very obstinate and potentially fatal obsession. #Recovery

As the pain subsides, a healing tranquility takes its place. And when #humility and #serenity are so combined, something else of great moment is apt to occur. #Recovery
