Recovery Meditations

Moving forward in identifying character defects and allowing God to help us develop our true character is no easy process.

Do I matter? Does anyone notice me? Does anyone care?

We are often overwhelmed with feelings of sadness when we first enter recovery.

How many times have we spoken before we thought and, as the saying goes, “put our foot in our mouth?

As we prepare to do the steps in a recovery program, who among us enjoys doing a Step Four inventory or writing out the last 90 days of our addiction?

One of the coping mechanisms many of us use when dealing with low self-esteem and the humiliation of our past failures is the mask of arrogance.

Only after a time of living in recovery with God do we realize how ridiculous we must have sounded when “we told God our plans.

We read in the program material of the 12-Steps about turning our will and our life over to the care of God.

There is no satisfaction in a partially committed life in recovery.

When we reached the bottom in our addiction we knew we needed help to get ourselves out of our tangled mess.

A character defect that most of us have is self-centeredness.
