Meditations on "Recovery"

Only after a time of living in recovery with God do we realize how ridiculous we must have sounded when “we told God our plans.

God invites us to live in freedom. Freedom for us was so important to God that He was willing to give the life of His Son so that we could experience new life and peace.

Step Two is often referred to as “The Hope Step”.

We experience true freedom when we have a clean slate with God.

When we get rid of something bad in our lives, we need to fill the vacancy with something good.

There is no satisfaction in a partially committed life in recovery.

Just for today I will take a quiet half hour all by myself to relax, think about, and enjoy all that God has done and continues to do for me.

Life with God in recovery is like a journey in an unknown land.

If we desire to live in a more loving way towards others we need to know that we ourselves are loved.

God created the heavens and the earth and set them to run on His established boundaries and laws.

When we reached the bottom in our addiction we knew we needed help to get ourselves out of our tangled mess.

Our pride often keeps us from asking to have our needs met.
