"Suicide is a temporary solution to a permanent problem."
Isn't that backwards?
Since attending meetings I always thought one could support one's self by making t-shirts with the phrases we hear in meetings and selling them at camp outs, jamborees, etc.
"I'm stuck straight up on stupid".
"The most difficult problems I face are not the ones I caused in my addiction, there the ones I discover in my recovery."
"Sometimes we come to meetings because of the message, other times its because of the mess."
"I always thought it was my drinking or drugging that was my problem. I sobered up and I still had problems. I could no longer deny my problem is me."
