Meditations on "Recovery"

When we were in our addiction, we made bad choices and walked down paths that caused us and those around us pain and harm.

What does the suffering and death of Jesus Christ have to do with me and my recovery?

Remember your word to your servant, for you have given me hope.

The Bible is a handbook for living wisely. Its pages contain all sorts of guidelines for living life as our creator intended.

What makes us vulnerable to temptation? We come into recovery and we work hard to understand what went wrong.

May your unfailing love come to me, Lord, your salvation, according to your promise; then I can answer anyone who taunts me, for I trust in your word.

In the Bible we read about a man named Gideon. He was discouraged and had little self-respect.

We’ve relapsed. Now what? We may beat ourselves up over what we have done and become fearful of owning up to our bad choice.

Some days are tough! When our plans fall apart, whether our own fault or not, we feel alone and challenged.

So don’t be misled, my dear brothers and sisters.

When our life in recovery is shared with God, we will consciously have a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Righteousness guards the person of integrity, but wickedness overthrows the sinner.
