Recovery Slogans
- A drug is a drug (even sex)
- An addict is a sick human being trying to get well, not a bad one trying to
be good
- Acceptance is the answer to all my problems today. When I am disturbed, it is
because I find some person, place, thing or situation - some fact of my life
unacceptable to me & I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place,
thing or situation as being exactly the way it is suppose to be at this moment.
Nothing, absolutely nothing, happens in God's world by mistake.
