Meditations on "Recovery"

We are often reluctant to admit problems and deal with painful events as they occur.

When we chose to believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ we were reconciled to our Heavenly Father.

In “How It Works” we read and hear the words read regularly in meetings: Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path.

An autonomous person is someone who is capable of making an informed decision about something on their own without having the input of another.

Human beings are wonderfully complex creations of God.

When we struggle to do what's right it can be helpful to remember that God knows about the battle and provides a promise for success with a clear strategy for attaining: it is keep alert and pray.

Many of us have heard the saying, “Good things come to those who wait.

Scientific evidence suggests that being cheerful seems to have positive benefits on our over-all health.

Some of the most welcome words in life and certainly in recovery circles are, "One day at a time" or "Just for today.

We talk about experiencing miracles in recovery. What is a miracle?

God says we are precious in His sight. God, through Jesus, has provided a way for us to leave shame behind and live in honour and dignity, regardless of what has happened in our past.

When we turn our will and life over to the care of God we are admitting that we cannot do life on our own and from this day forward are willing to let God direct our lives.
