Meditations on "Recovery"

On this “Thanksgiving” weekend, what are we thankful for?

In peace I will both lie down and sleep, For You alone, O Lord, make me to dwell in safety.

I cling to you; your strong right hand holds me securely.

Every time we pray the serenity prayer we are asking God for wisdom.

If we really want to get well we need to stop using our problems as a means of getting attention, sympathy or pity.

Anyone who has lived in addiction knows that life's entire focus is on the thing we seek to satisfy our cravings.

A lifestyle of loving God and loving our neighbour is the foundation of our new life with God in recovery.

In the early days of recovering from our addictive lifestyle we often do not feel like singing.

Making amends is a responsibility we must take very seriously if we want to protect our sobriety.

Living a life of goodness, peace and joy reflects the Kingdom of God within us.

When we first come into recovery, we tend to focus on our past behaviour and the things we have done wrong.

God has invited us to friendship with Himself through Jesus.
