Meditations on "Recovery"

Many people who choose for life with God in recovery think they can live any way they want to as long as they attend meetings, complete an honest set of steps, pray on occasion, and don’t pick up.

The choices we make affect not only our own life but the lives of our loved ones as well.

How are we expected to know what is right? How do we know what is wrong?

Just for today I will be agreeable. I will not criticize, not find fault, and not try to improve or control anybody except myself.

As we prepare our hearts for the celebration of Christ’s birth, some of us may have negative memories and regrets about past Christmases.

The hustle and bustle of shopping and Christmas events is in full swing.

One day when Jesus was at a dinner party given by a religious leader an uninvited woman with a bad reputation in the community entered the room.

Our lives in addiction were often shaped by characteristics of impatience and selfishness.

When we don’t feel good about ourselves it is often the result of comparing ourselves with others.

Just for today I will adjust myself to what is and not try to adjust everything else to my desires.

Problems! Problems! Problems! Sometimes life seems full of them.

All of us go through times in our lives when we feel lonely and inadequate to deal with the events that life has brought our way.
