Recovery Meditations

People who suffer from a victim mentality often confuse love with pity or rescue.

People in recovery are those who want to learn from the experience, strength, and hope of others.

The end of Tradition 12 in the Big Book of AA sums up an important principle in our recovery: We need to regularly count our blessings.

One of the great comforts and challenges, all at the same time, is the reality that we are powerless to manage our lives on our own.

When we realized our powerlessness over our dependency and came into recovery our daily routine started to change.

Making decisions and taking responsibility for our choices requires courage.

Canada's coat of arms is an official symbol of the country.

In active addiction, trying to stay connected and maintain a close, healthy relationship with another was impossible.

Time wasted in getting even can never be used in getting ahead.

Many of us have never been disciplined in the art of following through on the commitments we make.

The longer we are in sobriety the more we recognize that we have lots to learn.

As kids many of us sang an action song with the words, “The head bone connected to the neck bone, the neck bone connected to the shoulder bone” and on and on down the bones to the toes.
