Meditations on "Recovery"

The 12-Step Road often seems a long and winding one to us and some of us think we can reach our destination by taking shortcuts that are more agreeable.

Many of us who have lived a long time in addiction often feel like there’s not much to live for and opportunities to do well in life have passed us by.

In the Bible Jesus compared the Kingdom of Heaven to a man going on a journey to a far country.

God hates violence and His heart is grieved by the things humans do to one another.

Reading the following Psalm is a great way to start the day.

The British Commonwealth is made up of 53 countries with a combined population of about 2.

Jesus told a story of a man who was hiring day laborers.

Life in recovery is about living in truth, and the truth is that on our own our hearts are vulnerable.

Often in our recovery journey our expectations of where life should be at this point in time is not what we anticipated.

Half measures availed us nothing. We stood at the turning point.

Most of us think that we would be living happy and contented lives today if we had never known adversity and heartache.

We came into recovery because life as we knew it was not working.
