Meditations on "Recovery"

Unrealistic expectations lead to disappointment and, if we are not careful may also lead to relapse.

Trusting Jesus and doing what He says is the only key to successful recovery.

We live in a time where the freedom to do what we want, when we want, with whomever we want, is the popular understanding of freedom and the source of a wonderful life.

Life in recovery has many vulnerable moments, especially in the early days.

God's kingdom runs on the laws of love and peace. It really does!

God never intended that we would know evil, let alone experience it.

When we notice the shortcomings in our character, do we immediately have a sense of remorse or are we more likely to try to justify them?

It’s important to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God in all our affairs.

We are not shaped so much by our environment as we are by our perception of our environment.

One of our greatest spiritual dangers in recovery is “stinking thinking”.

O God, insolent people rise up against me; a violent gang is trying to kill me.

As we have experienced healing and transformation through daily living in the love and grace of God, we need to share our story – our experience, strength, and hope – with others.
