Meditations on "Recovery"

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.
