I was reading these and some of them made me laugh. It was great to laugh so I thought I'd share. A lot of truth in these sayings! Enjoy!
30 Things Overheard at 12 Step Meetings:
1. Treat your mind like a bad neighborhood- Don't go there alone!
2. Ten out of ten people die, so don't take life too seriously.
3. Be profound, funny or quiet.
4. After you talk in a meeting, listen to hear if you said anything.
5. I don't need your help today... Love, God
6. Our sickness is between our ears.
7. Want to hear God laugh? Tell Him your plans.
8. Don't expect to learn about people from books; a person can't fit in a bookcase.
9. Now I can wake and say, "Good morning, God!" rather than "Good God, it's morning!"
10. When I turned myself over to God, I took my life out of the hands of an idiot.
11. When the world comes to an end, it will do so without my permission.
12. If you pray for a Cadillac and God sends you a jackass, ride it.
13. There's no one too dumb for this program, but it's possible to be too smart.
14. All I wanted was to control you, myself, and everything else!
15. My disease  is an elephant. As long as I remember it's there, I won't get stepped on.

18. God save me from myself.
19. Keep it simple!
20. We're all here, because we're not all here.

22. My mind is out to get me!
23. I need to get the cotton out of my ears and put it in my mouth.
24. Come to 90 meetings in 90 days. If you're not satisfied, we'll refund your misery.
25. Things I turn over to God most easily are those things already fixed.
26. E.G.O. "Easing God Out"
27. God has never been a problem in my life, but I have been a problem to God all my life.
28. I know that I'm not yet the person I can be, but I thank God I'm not the person I used to be.
29. If you think you're happy, you are. If you think you're wise, you're not.
30. When I don't have expectations of others, anything positive they do is a pleasant surprise!

It's so amazing when I first came into the rooms of NA the things other Recovering addicts told me.. The awesome thing about it is I listened to them and did most of them and the rewarding thing is Im clean today cuz I wanted this program called Narcotics Anonymous.. These cool things people told me saved my ass.. I wont forget them Im constantly still doing them and carrying them to other addicts.. "More will be Revealed" Luv

Someone once mentioned at a meeting that "without the Program you are NUTS - Not Using The Steps." Works for me.
