Recovery Meditations

The desire to express our love for God and our neighbour should be the motivation behind what we do each day and how we work through our daily agenda.

Early in recovery, just attending to an unfamiliar daily routine is challenging.

During the time we were in active addiction our record of living in loving and faithful ways was likely non-existent.

Many events in life seem to destroy our value and puncture holes in our self-esteem.

Denial keeps us in slavery because we are lying to ourselves.

Denial is described as a refusal to admit the truth or reality of a situation.

When we were active in addiction, many of us took risks which were unhealthy and some of us continue to live with the consequences of our actions.

Who am I? Who do I say I am? Who do others say I am?

What are we saying and why are we saying it? After years of either saying nothing out of fear or bursting out with anger or complaints, one of the things we need to learn in recovery is what to say and when to say it.

How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

God promises to supply what we need to overcome temptation.

In sobriety, we become aware of how much spiritual poison we’ve allowed to build up in our hearts and minds.
