Recovery Meditations

When we entered a recovery program we may have looked around at the program staff and wondered why on earth they would choose to help us.

God invites us to joy and peace, to forgiveness and to loving relationship.

The exact nature of our wrongs is rooted in the lie that our problems are caused by what is around us rather than what is within us.

Step Five: Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

The basic questions to ask when making a searching and fearless moral inventory are, "God what does my life look like to you?

What is the challenge for us as we reflect on making a searching, fearless, and moral inventory based on God’s way of life as revealed to us in the Bible?

God has taught us how to know His will through the Bible and through following good counsel from pastors, sponsors, and Christian friends who have been faithfully walking with God for some time.

In recovery, and in life in general, situations often arise which cause us to believe that we are alone and have no one to turn to for help.

God's kingdom runs on the law of love and peace. It really does!

Step 3: We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

As we come into recovery programs we listen to and are supported by the experience, strength, and hope that others share.

Step Two: Came to believe that a power greater that ourselves could restore us to sanity.
