Slogans
Here are some common slogans used in recovery circles. One way to use them is to write your favourite slogans on separate pieces of paper. Put them all in a small box and take one out every morning. Whatever the slogan is that you pick up, try to practice that slogan to the best of your ability for that day. After a while, the slogans will become a part of your every-day thoughts.
First Things First
Don’t Use No Matter What
This too Shall Pass

Let go and let God
Time takes time
One day at a time
