Meditations on "Recovery"

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.

In the prayer Jesus taught His friends when they asked Him how to pray there is a line that says, "Your kingdom come.

When Jesus was here on earth He spoke clearly about our tendency to worry.

Many of us struggle to recognize the difference between asking and demanding.

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

In Step-6 we say we are entirely ready to have God remove all the character defects we have listed in our fearless moral inventory.

How many of us have lashed out in anger against a person who has harmed us?

Today in our nation, we celebrate Mothers' Day and ask God to bless all mothers everywhere.

Almost everyone says they hate gossip and yet many of us are easily drawn into conversations that are unkind.

Probably the most encouraging words that folks who have struggled and fallen need to hear is, that they still have a friend.
