Meditations on "Recovery"

Even though we may desire to walk with God and follow His ways, we will still need God's help to accomplish that goal.

Taking responsibility for our lives means owning our behaviour, confessing our sin, and turning away from destructive actions.

Accepting responsibility for our behaviour is difficult for most of us even in recovery.

How do we feel when people who should recognize us don’t?

To be “relapse proof” is to be surrendered to a life that prioritizes God’s will in everything we think, say, and do.

After years of uncertainty and upheaval at every turn, it's wonderful to recover a life that has some stability.

When we're making amends, we need to be wise in the way we go about it, being careful not to cause others further injury.

Just for today I will be unafraid, believing that as I trust in God with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding, He will lead me along a good path.

Yesterday we reflected on one area of our past that keeps us living in the shadows.

We often describe life in active addiction as darkness and life in recovery as light.

What difference does it make if we are grateful or not?

When thanksgiving becomes a way of life rather than a day of celebration on the calendar, life will change for us.
