"The monkey's off my back, but the circus is still in town."

[Fire Walk With Me]

Do you have any favorite AA sayings?

[NMDemDist2]

1. "here in the rooms, we've got a wrench for every nut"

I love that one.....

[Joe Chi Minh]

2. It's always good to be able to laugh at yourself, when you're under the cosh,

isn't it? I read this joke in the paper today. I hope no-one finds it offensive:

"I'm going to stop drinking. I don't think I'm an alcoholic yet, but I CAN see the writing on the floor."

[NMDemDist2]

3. I am SO stealing that one....

[Joe Chi Minh]

5. Thanks for that, Pecos. Waving rightbackatcha!

[demosincebirth]

4. Old one here. If you're praying for potatoes...grab a hoe.

I've been unsing that saying for years.

[Kajsa]

6. The truth shall set you free,

but before it does,
it will piss you off.

[NMDemDist2]

7. that phrase used to just piss me off

[Kajsa]

8. Me too,NMDem!

[get the red out]

9. Let go and let God!

This too shall pass.

Those two work for me when NOTHING else does.

[Joe Chi Minh]

10. Only an American could think up such a marvellously exotic metaphor! I don't

believe there is a nationality on this earth that is so manically poetically fanciful as you people. If you can use some highly imaginative metaphor to convey something, however ostensibly plain and simple, you will, and I have great fun reciting some of them to family and friends.
