Recovery Meditations

As we recover from addiction, it is emotionally draining when we come to the place of dealing with the harm we have caused others.

Sometimes, when it particularly suits us, we make excuses for not telling the truth.

In recovery circles there is a saying, “You are only as sick as your secrets.

Most of Jesus’ friends abandoned Him before He died on the cross.

Jesus is risen from the dead! Because He lives, we also shall live.

God was reaching out in love to each of us long before we knew Him.

In some recovery circles we affirm this “Life Affirmation #2” on a regular basis: My life is of great beauty and infinite value.

If we hold something in our hand and then let go of it, it will drop to the ground.

Do I truly want a life of intimacy with God in recovery?

Just for today I will seek to serve others with kindness, doing what is right, and walking humbly with God.

Our addictive behaviour was rooted in incorrect beliefs about relationships.

Your word, Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens.
