Meditations on "Recovery"

Even though our feelings may go up and down, there is nothing that can hide us from God’s presence. 

As we stay on the path, one step at a time we will find that practicing self-control really does bring the good things that God has planned for us.

Recovery is more about the story of God’s faithfulness to us than it is about our strength to endure.

It’s time to open our minds and hearts to God and watch Him act on our behalf.

With God, we truly have had a spiritual awakening.

Just as water is essential for natural life, so being filled up with God’s Spirit is essential for spiritual life. 

God promises to heal us and give us the power and strength we need to live the meaningful life we desire. 

We can ignore the fact that Jesus died for us and perish with our sins, or we can choose to accept that Jesus died to pay the debt for our sins and to give us the gift of an eternal relationship with the Living God. 

The God who created this earth and put natural laws in place has also given us spiritual laws that are in operation.

Those who make steady progress in recovery and find one day becoming one month, one year, and then one decade, are those who remain focused and pay careful attention each day to what works.  We call this being diligent.

My life is of great beauty and infinite value. Do I really believe this? What does God have to say about it all on my good days and bad days?

When we were powerless over our addiction how many times did people try to help us see the truth about our problem?
