Meditations on "Recovery"

One of the Twelve Promises of AA tells us: We will comprehend the word serenity, and we will know peace.

Too many of us drive while distracted by our cell phones and other activities such as changing stations on the radio or eating.

When problems arise it's easy to forget that God cares.

Everyone faces unwanted hardship and troubles. Often hardship comes because we act in ways that are unwise and end up in circumstances we did not anticipate.

We usually say an individual is “white knuckling” when they are just using willpower to stay sober.

Happy Mother’s Day to those who are mothers and to those who have mothers!

Learning to control our tongue is a sign that we are becoming mature in our thinking process.

A character defect that most of us have is self-centeredness.

God wants us to be responsible and generous with all He has given us – time, abilities, money, possessions.

When we are trying to do what is right and live according to God’s principles, we will often experience comments from others who remind us of our past and the things we did.

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

I am responsible. When anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help, I want the hand of AA always to be there.
