Meditations on "Recovery"

Denial is described as a refusal to admit the truth or reality of a situation.

Many of us come to recovery and seek help when the suffering in our life of addiction is too much to bear.

Life is more than just about us. God wants us to have the wonderful character qualities that He has.

How we react to situations and events in our day to day life in recovery shows the source of our strength.

How does communication with God change lives for people in recovery?

What does prayer have to do with recovery, particularly relapse prevention?

S Brennan Manning wrote a book called, “Living In The Wisdom of Accepted Tenderness.

Life in addiction is life in isolation. We figure things out on our own.

Loneliness, frustration, and dissatisfaction are emotions which may either trigger a relapse, or point us to God for healing and help.

We will always feel vulnerable when we choose to live life without God.

To have a successful journey in recovery we must begin to trust God to meet our deepest needs.

While we were in addiction our daily agenda was fully centered on meeting our own needs.
