Since Heard in a Meeting is just repeating things that were, well…heard in meetings, we thought we’d repeat some of the quotes again. It’s been a while for these:
You guys wanted me to do a 4th step and I hated it. I put my 4th step on my 4th step.
AA is the only place where people applaud when you come in to save your own life.
AA will do for us slowly what alcohol did for us quickly.
If AA is a cult it’s the worst cult ever. We won’t take your money and we insist you heal your relationship with your family.
If you’re sitting here thinking about drinking, that beats the hell out of sitting in a bar thinking about getting sober.
If you can’t be happy with what you have, just be happy you didn’t get what you deserved.
Alcohol is my drug of no choice.
I adore my kids. I wouldn’t ever, under any conditions, trade my kids for the first drink. But I’d trade them for the 2nd drink.
I’m asked how many people I sponsor and my answer is always the same: about half of them.
My mother had a drug problem. She drug me to church for 19 years.
We all have a last drink and some of us get to talk about it.
I wish I wasn’t an alcoholic so I could drink all the time.
I’ve been living in the wreckage of my future.
I did some controlled drinking. My drinking was controlled by my bank account.
I was laying in the gutter judging everybody’s shoes.
