Recovery Meditations

Soft addictions are habits or behaviors we use to control distressing moods or thought patterns.

God invites us to a life of gentleness where we honour truth, respect the dignity of everyone, including ourselves, and delight in the joy and wonder of each new day.

In the Bible Jesus told a story about a father and two sons.

At various times on our recovery journey we are asked to take personal inventory.

Shame is a powerful emotion which repeatedly tells us that we are worthless, unacceptable, unforgiveable, and have no place in a loving relationship.

Often people who have no relationship with God will pray when they are in trouble or when they urgently need help in a time of great distress.

Practicing an attitude of gratitude – is this just a happy little slogan or is it a way of daily living that will change our outlook on life?

In the Bible we read of all the good things that God will do for those who have given their will and life into His care.

Just for today I will be unafraid, believing that as I trust in God with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding, He will lead me along a good path.

Living in recovery and following the Twelve Steps is a spiritual journey.

While we were living in addiction our agenda each day was completely centered on meeting our daily needs.

"Easy Does It" is one of the most well-known slogans in recovery circles.
