This was given to me by a friend at my home group:

TOP 20 AA QUOTES

1.  When you've got one foot in yesterday and the other in tomorrow, you can only piss on today.

2.  Having a resentment is like drinking poison and expecting someone else to die.

3.  My basic problem is that I flee from those who want me and I pursue the rejectors.

4.  I've never done anything in moderation -- except maybe these steps.

5.  What other people think of you is none of your business.

6.  I've found that you can not save your ass and your face at the same time.

7.  You are not responsible for your disease, but you are responsible for your behavior.

8.  Sponsoring yourself is like using unskilled labor.

9.  An alcoholic without a sponsor is like leaving Dracula in charge of the blood bank.

10.  Nervousness is just God trying to share the truth out of you.

11.  By drinking to someone else's health, you are ruining your own.

12.  If God is your co-pilot, SWITCH SEATS!!!

13.  If you want what you've never had, you must do what you've never done.

14.  Humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less.

15.  Winners do what they have to do and losers do what they want to do.

16.  If you like everyone in AA, you're not going to enough meetings!

17.  People didn't recruit me for this program, alcohol did; and i might add:  a fine job it did.

18.  The healthy person finds happiness in helping others.  Thus, for him, unselfishness is selfish.

19.  Most alcoholics would rather die than learn anything about themselves.  In fact, they do.

20.  Insanity is not doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results; insanity is doing the same thing over and ovr again knowing full well what the results will be.

Here's a few I've heard at my home group....

1) I don't know who God is, but when I look in the mirror I know who he ain't!
2) Your mind is a very dangerous neighborhood, don't go there alone!
3) For the ladies...If you want to keep your feet on the ground, keep your legs out of the air!
4) Live easy but think first
5) Welcome to the largest orginization in the world that no one wanted to be a member of.
