Meditations on "Recovery"

Before we came into recovery, we admitted that our lives were unmanageable and we needed a power greater than ourselves to restore us to sanity.

The Jesus Culture band sings a song called “He Is Faithful”.

As we seek to establish something new in our lives, there is always a learning curve.

As we seek to restore a clear conscience before God we need to examine the truthfulness of our society’s values.

Many people are perfectionists who labor under condemnation even though the Bible says, “there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1 NIV).

Folklore advises, "Let your conscience be your guide.

God created us as moral beings. His word teaches us how to live in relationship with Him and with others.

When we turn our will and our life over to the care of God, one question to ask ourselves is, “Do we really trust in God to do everything He says He will do”?

Who can we trust? Who's reliable? Who tells the truth?

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, we can be assured that we are God’s children and that He will care for us.

Anyone who has lived in addiction knows that our entire life’s focus was on our next drink or fix.
