Meditations on "Recovery"

It is very common among the community of those who struggle with addictions to find individuals who feel as though they don't belong, don't have much worth, and don't feel loveable.

God desires to have fellowship with each one of us.

How do we see ourselves? To get an accurate picture of how we look, we need to use a mirror.

To know the will of God for our lives requires spending time with Him.

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.

When we bring our requests to God, do we come before Him with clean hands and a pure heart?

God is willing to support us and strengthen us as we lay down our own self-directed ways and invite Him to lead us along the path He has chosen for us.

When a person starts to build something they usually have a plan in their mind or directions on paper, such as blueprints, which guide them.

Living wisely means seeking direction from God’s word and the counsel of others who have walked closely with God.

We often bring our “street smart” thinking into recovery with us.

In our addictive lifestyle, we made poor choices and walked paths that caused pain and harm to ourselves and others.
