Meditations on "Recovery"

Everyday life has its challenges, but each day is also filled with many simple pleasures that often go unappreciated.

The Bible makes it clear that God detests lying. In our addiction, most of the time, we did not speak the truth.

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path .

Our pride often keeps us from asking for what we need.

Those who make steady progress in recovery are those who remain focused and give careful attention each day to what works.

What do “people, places, and things” have to do with living well with God in recovery today?

A mustard seed is very small, but in only three months it can grow and produce a mature harvest.

A healthy foundation for life with God in recovery includes seeking truth in all our affairs.

Often in recovery we are not sure where the future is going to take us, and it makes us fearful.

Wise people are willing to listen to sound advice and learn.

Many people who come into recovery seeking victory over drugs and alcohol find themselves relapsing into addictive lifestyles when they refuse to obey God’s teaching on sexual purity.
