Singing The Slogans - Ben V & Marcel S - The Netherlands

In 2018 an SA/S-Anon couple traveled around our region with their workshop “Slogans Save Lives.” They shared how they use both Slogans and Traditions for their everyday recovery, both individually and as a couple. Music and humor gave the workshop a light touch. We sang some recovery songs that were handed out on paper. 

 

More and more I’ve come to see the value of Slogans. They are simple and spot on, whereas I tend to complicate things. They are little capsules of experience, strength and hope. Rhyme, rhythm, and alliteration make them easy to remember. I enjoy turning them into songs. They make great titles too.

Two sheets of Slogans that my former sponsor gave me came in handy when, at the 2019 Madrid International Convention, the motto turned out to be “Living The Slogans.” In my song “Living The Slogans”, * the verses consisted solely of Slogans.
