We have been discussing the early AA slogans,
especially "But for the Grace of God."

But another of the early slogans was also
mentioned:

This one -- "Think think think" -- was perhaps
not biblical. It seems to have been an IBM slogan
put up on a Cleveland AA bulletin board or the
equivalent ca 1944 much to the chagrin of
Clarence S., who observed (approximately)
"Alcoholics don't think -- they emote."

(Mitch K. can probably provide chapter and
verse on this.)
