Meditations on "Recovery"

Everyone faces unwanted hardships and trouble. Some hardship comes because we act in ways that are unwise and end up in circumstances we did not anticipate.

When we come into recovery we are usually immature in our knowledge of God and his ways and don’t really know how to live a meaningful life.

Why do we continue to do things our own way when it obviously isn’t working?

Some of us in recovery lack the quality of being hospitable.

When we give our will and life over to the care of God, we receive the new birth Jesus spoke of.

When Jesus was here on earth, He often went off on His own to pray.

It's summertime – time for rest and recreation and hopefully some quality time with friends and/or family.

In sharing our recovery journey at meetings, we often look to the model of "what life was like in addiction, what happened, and what does life look like now.

When we pray the full version of the Serenity Prayer, what are we asking God to do for us?

God’s Word often speaks about our enemies, and these are the “enemies of our soul.

Living life with God in recovery is a learning process.

"Don't quit before the miracle happens" is a slogan that's been around Alcoholics Anonymous for quite a while.
