Meditations on "Recovery"

When we begin the recovery process we are often overwhelmed by the guilt and shame of the mess we have made of our lives.

Control is usually a relationship problem and is common in addiction.

God is always with me. I need never face my problems alone.

An autonomous person is someone who is capable of making an informed decision about something on their own without having the input of another.

When we are in a place of despair, we often cry out to God for help but wonder if He is really listening.

As we read the words of Jesus in the Bible, we will see that He often makes reference to earthly things in order to illustrate how precious our relationship is with Him.

God made us for relationship with Him and with one another.

Often when we come into recovery and begin to learn the ways of God, we do not fully understand why God has given us life and breath.

Remember nothing is going to happen today that you and God can't handle.

What does it mean to humbly ask God to remove our shortcomings?

In this world what are we chasing after? Is it drugs, alcohol, money, sex, notoriety, loyalty, friendship, or maybe all the above?

Will you be my Valentine? This day is meant to remind us of love and hearts joined together in friendship and commitment.
