Meditations on "Recovery"

We might consider that we’ve entered into recovery when we stop using our substance of choice or quit the destructive habit that has contributed to our destructive way of life.

Life in addiction narrowed our focus to a self-centered view of what we wanted or thought we needed.

Serenity: What is it? How do I get it? Why do I lose it?

Individuals leaving addiction behind and entering into life with God in recovery often use the Twelve Steps of AA to help them sort through their issues.

We began this week reflecting on whether we are “doughnut or hole” people.

You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
