Recovery Meditations

As we turn our hearts towards God, He strengthens us to do what we need to do.

Many of us, especially in early recovery, find it difficult to control our impulsive behaviour.

God made our bodies to be a home for His Holy Spirit.

After years of uncertainty and upheaval at every turn, it's wonderful to recover a life that has some stability.

As humans, we long for security in many forms; security within our own family, security about who we are inside our own heads, security of our position within any group we are a part of, security from any type of threat to our well-being, and security from anything else we may consider a threat to our lives.

Accepting responsibility for our behaviour is difficult for most of us even in recovery.

“Where is life going from here?” This a question we may ask ourselves when we come to admit that we are powerless over our dependencies and that our life has become unmanageable.

When we talk about intimacy we are usually referring to a close, familiar, protective, loving relationship between two persons.

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.

Making decisions and taking responsibility for our choices requires courage.

We often describe life in active addiction as darkness and life in recovery as light.

All of us who have weathered the storms of an addictive lifestyle know that our days were filled with trials of one sort or another.
