what are slogans?
Slogans serve as a gentle, calming reminders that our circumstances might not be as impossible or as desperate as they at first appear. These concise expressions of wisdom offer quick reassurance that we really are able to cope with whatever life brings, prompting us to take constructive action and to treat ourselves and others with compassion and respect. Even when we are too new to recovery or too overwhelmed by our circumstances to recall one of the many the programs principles that may apply, a simple slogan can put the entire situation into perspective.
