Slogans part 1 – Episode 131

Maybe you’ve heard some of these slogans. “Easy does it.” … “How important is it?” … “Think” … "Let go and Let God." Spencer and Eric talk about some slogans, guided by these questions. What did you think about these slogans when you first came to the program? Was there a particular slogan that you first “picked up”? How did it help you? What slogans are you using at this point in your recovery / life? Easy does it. How have you used this slogan? What does it say to you? How important is it? What does this slogan remind you to do, or not to do? How has it helped your recovery? How does it help you to live with others? Think From How Al-Anon Works: “One of the effects of alcoholism is that most of us tend to react to everything we encounter, often perceiving minor incidents as major crises.” How does “Think” remind me to pause instead of reacting? How have I used this recently? In the Step 10 discussion in Paths to Recovery there is an interpretation of THINK as an acronym, giving us questions to ask before opening our mouth: Is it Thoughtful, Honest, Intelligent, Necessary, and Kind? How do you view the slogans now? Upcoming topics include Living with Lies, Concepts 11 and 12, and the 4 L's: Listen, Learn, Let Go, and Love.
