Meditations on "Recovery"

In the Bible Jesus told a story about a father and two sons.

While we were living in addiction our daily agenda was completely centered on meeting our own needs.

How many times in a day do we struggle with the character defect of impatience?

To experience success in our life with God in recovery we must make a commitment to be thorough in our search for truth and how we apply this learned truth in our thoughts and behaviours.

In the Bible we read of all the good things that God does for those who have given their will and life into his care.

Practicing an attitude of gratitude – is this just a happy little slogan or is it a way of daily living that will change our outlook on life?

To be complete means that nothing is lacking. Some people have health, wealth, possessions, honour and prestige in the community.

A person with hope looks forward with reasonable confidence to something that will take place.

Peace and serenity are gifts to be received. They are treasures to be chosen.

Being a phony is an intensely tiring way to live. Giving false impressions and lying to cover up attitudes or behaviours drains us of energy and joy.

"Easy Does It" is one of the most well-known slogans in recovery circles.

An important part of recovery is coming to a truthful view of what happened in our relationships.
