Meditations on "Recovery"

In a TV program a team of designers and builders make it their project to replace the inadequate home of a well-deserving family with a brand-new home.

In recovery, and in life in general, situations often arise which cause us to believe that we are alone and have no one to turn to for help.

As we turn our will and our lives over to God’s care, we will find the safety and protection we have been seeking our whole lives.

God told them, “I’ve never quit loving you and never will.

Loneliness is a feeling of isolation. We can be in a room full of people and still feel lonely.

The only antidote for hurt, frustration, and anger is love and plenty of it.

Thinking and acting on our own self-centered thoughts often results in confusion and grief.

The Serenity Prayer is the common name for a prayer authored by the American theologian Reinhold Niebuhr.

As we’ve worked and applied the 12 Steps of A.A. to our lives, we’ve had a spiritual awakening.

People who wink at wrong cause trouble, but a bold reproof promotes peace.

Do I matter? Does anyone notice me? Does anyone care?

God knows that we cannot fix ourselves. Life is a gift.
