Meditations on "Recovery"

T Often when we come into recovery we miss our old way of life and the people we socialized with.

Living in addiction is chaotic. A person is never at peace either in mind or body.

One of our first priorities in recovery is sorting our life practices according to the truth.

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.
