Meditations on "Recovery"

Unresolved grudges from offences committed against us in childhood, usually show up in adulthood as deeply rooted bitterness.

Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you. Ask God to bless the people who ask for bad things to happen to you.

Just for today I will try to live in conscious contact with God praying only for knowledge of His will and the power to carry it out.

God raises up people and puts them down. He alone is the righteous judge of all.

Since God has always loved us and consistently called us to Himself it makes sense that in recovery, we can expect God’s grace and love to take us forward.

How do we find the courage to try something new or go after what we really want?

God created us in love and desires that we love Him with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our strength and with all our mind and that we love our neighbour as ourselves.

A dollar bill is only as good as the government or bank that has promised to give value to the holder of the bill.

Often the root of our problems is what we choose to believe.

Being grateful for the people around us and the things we have is of great value in leading a contented life in recovery.

How can we remain at peace in a world full of troublesome circumstances?

None of us like criticism but all of us should take time to hear what is being said and deal with it.
