Meditations on "Recovery"

Life In recovery is not only about working hard. God’s plan for a satisfying and fulfilling life has always been that we would find enjoyment in daily living while always remaining vigilant about threats to our sobriety.

The writer of the following Psalm starts by calling everyone to listen to what he has to say.

Practicing an attitude of gratitude – is this just a happy little catchphrase, something to think about one day a year on the Thanksgiving holiday, or is it a way of facing each day that changes our perspective on life?

Whether or not we say words with our mouths or use our fingers on social media, we seem to be people of many words.

Many of us, especially early in recovery, find it difficult to control impulsive behaviour.

Coming out of addiction and living life in sobriety is always challenging and should be lived one day at a time.

Transition is difficult. It requires that we leave something behind and move into something new.

As we get to know the Lord Jesus our self-centered attitude begins to change and with care and compassion we become more aware of what is happening in the lives of others.

Being a “dry drunk” is a term used to describe a person whose actions and attitudes are pretty much the same as when they were drinking.

While He was on earth, Jesus taught many things and made many statements about the Kingdom of Heaven.

One of the great comforts and challenges, all at the same time, is the reality that we are powerless to manage our lives on our own.

As we come to know God better through prayer and meditation on the Scriptures, our thoughts about Him change.
