Meditations on "Recovery"

In the past, one of the lies we bought into was that the party life was where the greatest enjoyment of life was to be found.

The Bible contains a story that is reflected in the slogan, “Live and let live.

“I am a walking miracle” is a slogan we often hear said in recovery meetings.

The purpose of Step 6 of the 12-Step program is to help us address those personal defects of character that result from our discontentment with life.

Addiction for many of us focused on trying to find happiness in all the wrong places and things.

Our pride often keeps us from asking for what we need.

God designed humans with a natural desire to pursue pleasure.

The process of recovery is a time to find peace while also accepting life as it is.

Some of us slid into destructive and addictive lifestyles out of a desire to have friends and companions to belong to.

It is often difficult to admit to ourselves the exact nature of the wrongs we have committed.

When we first come into recovery, we may have feelings of anxiety or depression.
