Meditations on "Recovery"

Employers negotiate work contracts with individuals and unions.

We feel many things in recovery. Some negative and others positive.

Just for today I will be joyful, optimistic, and grateful.

Powerful people harass me without cause, but my heart trembles only at your word.

We come into recovery because we are tired and worn out from the physical and emotional consequences of a lifestyle of addiction and the destruction it imposes.

Creation suggests that there is an intelligent creator.

Rudeness shows itself in our speech and actions towards others.

There will always be things that are right and good in our lives, and other things that are yet to be sorted out.

It’s not surprising that living in active addiction was for years often described as having a habit.

People who walk with God in recovery look to Him for wisdom, hope, and direction.

One of the promises given to us as we grow in our recovery is: No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others.

Those of us who live for the approval of others are not led but driven.
