Recovery Meditations

In the Bible Jesus told a story about a father and two sons (Luke 15:11-31) The younger of the two boys became dissatisfied with life in his father’s household and believed life away from home was more desirable.

No matter how far away God seems, we can call out to Him and He will always respond.

Many people who come into recovery seeking victory over drugs and alcohol often find themselves relapsing when they refuse to obey God’s teaching on sexual purity.

Anger in our society is rampant. Most of us have a hard time dealing with anger.

Across recovery circles we've been exposed to the word “HALT” (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired) and its significance in our recovery.

When we are feeling sick we usually go to the doctor so that we can find out what might be wrong with us.

When we come into recovery one of our priorities must be sorting life according to what is true.

We will experience freedom and fulfillment in life only when God’s desires become our desires, God’s way becomes our way, and God’s word becomes our action plan.

My Lord, you heard my groaning. You can hear my sighs.

Years of aimless living in addiction kept us from becoming focused, well-organized, and productive.

As some of us consider the history of our lives – whether before, during, or after active addiction – gratitude might not be the first response in our hearts.

One of the promises given to us as we grow in our recovery is: No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others.
