Recovery Meditations

When we pray the full version of the Serenity Prayer, what are we asking God to do for us?

Being grateful for the people around us and the things we have contributes to living a contented life in recovery.

While in addiction we often considered life, even our own, as pretty cheap.

When we turned our will and life over to the care of God, we started a life journey to live sober.

A lot of us would admit that we acted immaturely in our former relationships, and that we used and abused others so that we could get what we wanted when we wanted it.

Moving forward in identifying character defects and allowing God to help us develop our true character is no easy process.

What does it mean to humbly ask God to remove our shortcomings?

As we go forward in recovery we have come to realize that we are accountable for our actions, for the behaviour that has impacted our relationships, and for the problems we created while in bondage to our addiction.

A sincere person is one who is honest, who doesn’t create false impressions, and who doesn’t operate with selfish motives.

Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord from the heavens.

Just for today I will be joyful, optimistic, and grateful.

There is an account in the Bible of ten men who were lepers.
