Sobriety Slogans That We Love To Hate

Sometimes you just need a quick saying or thought to help change your attitude. It can be as simple as using the ever so popular phrase in the rooms, "just for today." Some may find sobriety slogans confusing, some may find them annoying, while others may find them inspiring. It really depends on the willingness to want to accept a different way of thinking and the acceptance of whatever feelings one may be having.

I found myself using many of these slogans in my early sobriety, and still do. I would hear them over and over again and be like "ugh, OK, we get it - first things first" or whatever the choice phrase was for that moment. But when I needed to actually use and apply that phrase to my life, it all made sense. Today I embrace those sayings and take it as a little sign that I may need to listen if I am hearing them too often. There are so many opportunities to grow if I just pay attention.

Here are some popular sobriety slogans that may help you on your path in recovery.
