Meditations on "Recovery"

Some of us slid into destructive and addictive lifestyles out of a desire to belong and have friends and companions.

My soul faints with longing for your salvation, but I have put my hope in your word.

“Trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will” Our lives in addiction were a wreck.

God’s guidance for living life to the full is clearly laid out in rules and principles found in the Bible.

Most of us are well aware of the damage we did to ourselves, our families, and to others in the community when we disregarded God’s authority and tried to do things our own way.

Learning to live with God in recovery is challenging to say the least.

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

The foundation of our new life in recovery is based on finding life with the one true God.

When thoughts of relapse enter our thinking, telling ourselves the truth about who we are has a significant impact on how we behave.

It is God’s plan that we not only know truth but believe truth, speak truth and rearrange our lives with God in recovery so all of our actions support truth.

In recovery, it doesn’t take long for us to realize how much better life is, than we ever thought it could be.

We spent a long time in addiction trying to have life as we wanted it because we thought that would make us happy and give us what we craved.
