Meditations on "Recovery"

Life in recovery without God is just not worth it. The Bible speaks truthfully about this.

The full version of the Serenity Prayer said at most recovery gatherings contains the words, “Taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it”.

Often in relationships where one or both parties are in some form of addiction, physical or emotional abuse exists.

Honesty, balance, and realism are essential tools to keep at hand as we sort out and rebuild relationships.

Part of being human is experiencing some wounding. It may be a scraped knee from falling, a burned finger from touching something hot, or a variety of other things that injure us.

God is always with me. I need never face my problems alone.

Today is Labour Day and tomorrow many students, and some of us, return to places of education for a new season of learning and maturing.

As we begin this day, is our heart quiet or is it upset and anxious?

Across recovery circles we've been exposed to the word “HALT” (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired) and its significance in our recovery.

Each day we make judgment calls about what to do or do not do.

To encourage means to inspire confidence in another.

The long days of summer are beginning to wind down.
