Recovery Meditations

Common sense and wisdom are learned in many ways. We are encouraged to pursue habits that draw wisdom into our daily living and interactions with others.

Many who struggle with addictive behaviours are not happy because their lives are unfulfilled, and they are failing in what they truly want from life.

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

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

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

As we have moved 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.

God made us for relationship with Him and with each other.

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?

God hates violence and His heart is grieved by the things that humans do to one another.

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

One of the things which many of us experienced while growing up, and which probably had something to do with our journey into an addictive and destructive lifestyle, was the lack of attention paid to us as children.
