- SANITY (the strength in acceptance which empowers us to live a new life with integrity and trust in our Higher Power.)
- Who can I TURN to? (Serenity awaits at the door surrender. As we entrust our lives to the God who understands all things, we begin to value His point of view instead of our own,so we can live a new life with him at the center.)
- ACTION: the antidote to despair (Action is the fruit of our thoughts, and thoughts are the fruit of our choice, which can either break us down or make us stronger, retard our growth, or propel us forward. You get to choose!)
