We found many in A.A. who once thought, as we did, that humility was another name for weakness. They helped us to get down to our right size. By their example they showed us that humility and intellect could be compatible, provided we placed humility first. When we began to do that, we received the gift of faith, a faith which works. This faith is for you, too.
~~~~~~~~
Where humility formerly stood for a forced feeding on humble pie, it now begins to mean the nourishing ingredient that can give us serenity.

Since coming into AA, I have been collecting short ism's that we use. Here are some of my favorites from my ever growing list:
.......................................
~We handled it drunk, we can handle it sober. ~Joy shared is joy doubled. ~Acceptance doesn’t require my approval. ~Service keeps you sober. ~Face everything and recover. ~Share a little, grow a lot. ~When you punish the truth, expect lies. ~Grace over Drama (g.o.d.) ~Meeting makers make it.
.......................................
I have many, many more, but those are just a few of my favorites.
