Meditations on "Recovery"

We've all experienced the power of words in our own lives and observed the effect of their power in what others share with us.

We often give up on God before His plan, in His perfect timing, takes effect.

To be reconciled with someone who has wronged us is difficult.

When we observe someone in need of help what is our first reaction?

Coming to terms with our lifestyle in addiction requires us to admit that we have zero self-control where our dependencies are involved.

Many of the events in our lives that contributed to us becoming dependent on substances or unhealthy relationships were traumatic and caused us to retreat into hiding.

The day we call Palm Sunday was foretold in the Jewish scriptures hundreds of years before it happened.

Becoming strong and steady in our recovery requires that we keep on listening to and learning from God's Word and from the experience, strength, and hope of others.

The "going the extra mile" principle encourages us to live from a generous heart.

As we go forward in recovery we have come to realize that we are accountable for the actions we have done, the behaviour that has impacted our relationships, and the problems we created throughout our addiction.

Few people are more aware of their need for God’s help to restore them to sanity than recovering addicts.

Confrontational people tend to approach situations with aggression.
