Meditations on "Recovery"

Sadness is one of the most common human emotions and can be difficult to deal with.

To become willing to follow God's ways is an everyday challenge for those of us who are used to running our own lives.

We live in a beautiful world created by God. Because God desired a people for Himself, He made humans in His own image.

How many of us begin a job and see it through to completion?

Stories of intolerance and prejudice air regularly on the news networks.

We will experience freedom and fulfillment in life only when God’s desires become our desires, God’s way becomes our way, and God’s Word becomes our action plan.

Telling the truth presents many challenges for individuals seeking new life in recovery.

Life has its ups and downs and does not always treat us fairly.

Recognizing and marking milestones (clean time in recovery) is a way to celebrate our sobriety and give hope to others who attend recovery meetings with us.

When we pray for God’s will and the power to carry it out, God just doesn’t point to something unfocused in the distance.

Sometimes people in recovery circles are obsessed with past failures.

Some of us in recovery circles know what it is like to live in plenty and others of us have experienced what it is like to live in poverty.
