OA members have many useful slogans. These are not officially sanctioned by the OA World Service Office, but they are generously shared by our members. Here are just a few to get started.

• Fail to plan, plan to fail.
• Just for today.
• Come for the vanity. Stay for the sanity.
• One is too many, and a thousand is not enough.
• If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.

• If I have a problem and eat over it, then I have two problems.
• Would I rather be right — or happy?
• Keep your recovery first to make it last.
