Alcohol | Children of Addicted Parents and People

I have a right to be treated with respect as an intelligent , capable and equal human being

I have a right to state my own needs and set my own priorities as a person independant of any roles that I may assume in life

I have a right to express my feelings

I have a right to express my feelings and values

I have a right to say 'No' or 'Yes' for myself

I have a right to make mistakes

I have the right to change my mind

I have a right to say 'I don't understand' and to ask for more information

I have a right to ask for what I want

I have a right to deal with others without being dependent on them for approval

Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why we call it the present.

Our real problem is not our strength today; it is rather the vital necessity of action today to ensure our strength tomorrow.

Say to yourself each morning "I do not need the reactions of others to validate myself or my personality"

Truly, it is in darkness that one finds the light, so when we are in sorrow, then this light is nearest to us.

When it is dark enough you can see the stars.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams

A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery by doubling our joy and dividing our grief

Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact
