OUR SLOGANS
AS SEEN BY A NEWCOMER

LIVE AND LET LIVE
This slogan made me suddenly realize what was wrong with my life.
Everyone had interfered with me. I wondered why they didn't live out in the
real world like they did in A.A. If it wasn't my boss saying, "If you don't
quit drinking, I'm going to fire you," and it was my wife's declaration
that she would throw me out if I didn't quit. I wondered why people didn't
live and let me live as I wanted.
EASY DOES IT
I knew that meant just lie back and let the world go by. Don't do
anything.
BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD
This one made me realize why I was an alcoholic. God made me one.
THINK, THINK, THINK
This explained why I had to go to A.A. meetings--to learn how to drink
successfully by thinking, so that when I'd had enough I would stop.
FIRST THINGS FIRST
This one made me realize that A.A. meetings were going to help. They
would help me set up a priority list so I could first, get my wife back,
second, get a job, and third, show all these people how much I knew--just by
seeing these nice slogans.
