Meditations on "Recovery"

Step-10 encourages us to regularly take personal inventory and when we are wrong about anything to promptly admit it.

In many places in the Bible we read that God’s love endures forever.

How many of us got ourselves into trouble by our lack of wisdom and understanding of life and where it would lead us if we pursued a rebellious course?

In the Bible we read of many festivals the people celebrate because God intervened on their behalf.

People in recovery are those who want to learn from the experience, strength, and hope of others.

E Many of us choose to rely on our own understanding of how life works and what is best for us.

What came first the chicken or the egg? When we called out to God in our powerlessness, did we suddenly show up on His “locating system” or was He already waiting for us to call and available to help us?

The Psalms that we read and think about each Sunday are the ancient songbook of the church.

Who would have thought that the way we are living in our relationships, taking responsibility for our actions, and doing the work that is required of us each day, would attract others to think about getting what we have?

We all long for the joy and comfort of being in a loving relationship with a significant other.

In Step 7 we humbly come before God and ask Him to remove all our shortcomings.

One of the central pillars of the recovery world is the sharing of our experience, strength, and hope.
