Meditations on "Recovery"

Today is a day to honour fathers. Some of us are fathers.

Whether it’s a commitment we make to ourselves, to others, or to God, keeping at it until it's completed is tough for an addict.

We got to where we are today by our own irrational thinking and flawed solutions.

Jesus told many stories of what the Kingdom of Heaven is like.

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

Some time may have passed since we completed a Step Ten and we may now assume we have it all figured out and are well on our way in recovery.

In certain situations, when our behaviour is challenged, we are quick to try to justify ourselves.

How many times in our addictive lifestyle were people looking for us, seeking to do us harm?

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

People who suffer from a victim mentality often confuse love with pity or rescue.

In our addiction, long periods of isolation became a way of life for us.

Many of us thought we would never sink so low in our destructive lifestyle and yet we ended up there by our own choosing.
