Recovery Meditations

When we are faced with a recurring problem we often just want it to go away so we can be done with it.

A humble person is grounded in a realistic view of who they are.

In recovery, as well as in addiction, we can have a victim mentality.

As we seek to live in recovery and face life’s troubles and challenges, it's easy to become discouraged and feel sorry for ourselves when things appear not to be fair.

It takes courage to live in recovery. Admitting that our lives were unmanageable and that we were powerless to sort ourselves out took real courage.

Emotions, stress, troubles in a relationship, illness, or just talking about the past can trigger an obsession in us to relapse.

We started lying a long time ago to cover up and hide from the truth.

When we turned our will and life over to God many of us had hope for a quick turnaround in our lives.

We all long to experience love from our family, friends, and the people we respect.

When it comes to murder, everyone recognizes that it is wrong and something to be avoided and punished.

How many of us are confident in our decision making?

As our time increases in recovery one of the enemies we need to guard against is becoming complacent.
