Meditations on "Recovery"

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.

Everyday life has it challenges but each day is also filled with many simple pleasures.

Broken relationships are a significant issue in most relapses back into active addiction.

Each of us who have given our will and life over to the care of God may doubt that God has the power to help us overcome our powerlessness over our dependencies.
