Meditations on "Recovery"

When we are feeling sick we usually go to the doctor so that we can find out what might be wrong with us.

When we come into recovery one of our priorities must be sorting life according to what is true.

We will experience freedom and fulfillment in life only when God’s desires become our desires, God’s way becomes our way, and God’s word becomes our action plan.

Years of aimless living in addiction kept us from becoming focused, well-organized, and productive.

As some of us consider the history of our lives – whether before, during, or after active addiction – gratitude might not be the first response in our hearts.

One of the promises given to us as we grow in our recovery is: No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others.

God created us to live in loving relationship with Him.

In the Bible, sheep and shepherds are often used to teach us important spiritual lessons.

To live with wisdom in recovery requires humility.

We are exposed to traumatic events around the world by the 24-hour news cycle on television and on our digital devices.

The way to become mature in our recovery and in life in general is through prayer and meditation on the Bible.

Co-dependency is a relationship addiction. People who are co-dependent often form relationships that are one-sided, emotionally destructive, and often abusive.
