Meditations on "Recovery"

Life on God’s terms is the way of living we say we want when we come into recovery.

We often think that people who read lots of books or have a few university degrees have gained a lot of wisdom.

A person with a victim mentality has learned to focus on suffering while trying to avoid more at any cost.

Scientific evidence suggests that being cheerful seems to have positive benefits on our over-all health.

The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace.

God teaches us to know His will through the Bible and through following good counsel from pastors, sponsors, and Christian friends who have been faithfully walking with God for some time.

Integrity is one of the most valued character qualities a person can have.

As we go forward in recovery, we have come to the realization that we are accountable for the actions we have done, the behaviour that has impacted our relationships, and the problems we created throughout our life in addiction.

In “How It Works” we read and hear the following words read regularly at meetings: Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path.

Some of us slid into destructive and addictive lifestyles out of a desire to belong and have friends.

What does speaking honourably have to do with recovery?

God wants us to be successful in recovery and in life.
