Meditations on "Recovery"

Due to the oppression of our addictive lifestyle, many of us made a move towards recovery only to struggle and relapse.

At 2 a.m. today in North America we changed from daylight saving time back to standard time.

As we recover, do we ever stop to consider what the deepest longing of our heart is?

Growing and being renewed day by day is part of our physical, emotional, and spiritual life.

Jesus is our role model for how to live well with God in recovery.

When we come to Step 4 in the 12-Step program we are asked to focus on ourselves and make a searching and fearless moral inventory.

God is willing to support and strengthen us as we lay down our self-directed ways and invite Him to lead us along the path He has chosen for us.

In active addiction we seldom made the right choice and even now in recovery it is still a learning process.

The longer we live in sobriety the more we recognize that we have lots to learn.

When we encounter a promise of God in the Bible, do we stop and think about what God is saying?

God’s plan for a satisfying and fulfilling life is that we would find enjoyment in daily living while always remaining vigilant about threats to our sobriety and well-being.

Many of us, especially in early recovery, find it difficult to control our impulsive behaviour.
