Recovery Meditations

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.

We all need hope. Today we are affirming the hope we will experience when what has been impossible for us to do on our own becomes possible as we reach out for help to a Power greater than ourselves.

A healthy foundation for life with God in recovery includes seeking truth in all our affairs.
