Recovery Meditations

Understanding the relationship between self-image and addiction is like a chicken and egg situation – trying to interpret which came first.

The Bible tells us that on the third day of creation God spoke and vegetation was created on the earth.

Some of us slid into destructive and addictive lifestyles out of a desire to have friends and companions to belong to.

Jesus always spoke the truth. He encouraged people to follow Him because He is the way, the truth, and the life.

It's summertime – time for rest and recreation and hopefully some quality time with friends and/or family.

The contrast of destructive self-centeredness in active addiction with the healthy lifestyle of supporting one another in recovery is clearly expressed in Promise 7 of AA: We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows.
