Recovery Meditations

How does admitting and confessing our character defects bring about change in our daily living?

Once we’ve admitted to God what’s wrong, why must we share these details with someone else?

“We admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

Sorting out what went wrong in our lives and getting it written down in Step Four has already been a challenging and painful process.

Life in recovery has many vulnerable moments, especially in the early days.

In the beginning God created us to live in conscious contact with Him.

How has stored anger been a problem in my life? How have I addressed this problem?

Unkind words or hurtful events cause us to store anger, which if not dealt with, will deteriorate through time into frustration, anxiety, hatred, despair, rage, and subsequently hopelessness.

The only antidote for hurt, frustration, and anger is love and plenty of it.

We live in a world dominated by angry words, angry gestures, and angry responses.

Anger is an involuntary reaction to a displeasing situation or event.

I love the Lord because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy.
