Living in the here and now.

RULE 62: don't take yourself seriously.

We had to quit playing God.

Each and every addict, sober or not, teaches us valuable lessons about ourselves and recovery.

Every recovery began with one sober hour.

If you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere.

We all sing Rabbee Akivah's ma'amar about "Mikveh Yisroel Hashem" on Lag ba'Omer... don't we hear what we are saying? Hashem is our Mikvah - not the mikvah, but Hashem. Now, what's that supposed to mean? To me, it means that our mikvah of water is an embodiment of Hashem'...

Why recovery never ends: the disease is sexaholISm, not sexaholWASm.

Pain is the touchstone of spiritual growth.

A drug is a drug.

It is not the experience of today that drives people mad, it is remorse of yesterday and the dread of tomorrow.

There are two days in every week which we have no control over----yesterday and tomorrow. Today is the only day we can change.

Just for today, I will try to live through this day only, and not tackle my whole life problems at once.

The 12-Steps work for people who believe in God. The 12-Steps work for people who don't believe in God. The 12-Steps NEVER work for people who believe they ARE God.

Give time time.

A coincidence is a miracle in which God chooses to remain anonymous.

God will never give you more than you can handle.

You are exactly where you are supposed to be.
