Recovery Meditations

God’s great love for women and men sent Jesus to the world to pay the price for our freedom from sin.

Today we are continuing to look at the excuses and reasons we give for making poor choices and our tendency to want to justify our actions.

Rationalizing endorses the internal belief that we are victims of circumstances beyond our control.

Many of us come to recovery and seek help when the suffering in our life in addiction is too much to bear.

God made our bodies to be a home for His Holy Spirit.

Even though we may desire to walk with God and follow His ways, we will still need God's help to accomplish that goal.

Taking responsibility for our lives means owning our behaviour, confessing our sin, and turning away from destructive actions.

Accepting responsibility for our behaviour is difficult for most of us even in recovery.

How do we feel when people who should recognize us don’t?

To be “relapse proof” is to be surrendered to a life that prioritizes God’s will in everything we think, say, and do.

After years of uncertainty and upheaval at every turn, it's wonderful to recover a life that has some stability.

When we're making amends, we need to be wise in the way we go about it, being careful not to cause others further injury.
