Meditations on "Recovery"

As we sit at home watching our leaders on TV it is easy to make controversial comments about how they are running the affairs of the country or city where we live.

S Trying to be perfect is a mean task master yet many of us live in the fear of making mistakes and hide in shame and addictive behaviour when we stumble.

Depending on the situation we sometimes find ourselves caught up in the tension between our desire for justice or mercy.

One of the amazing transformations that we experience when we have spent some time in recovery from active addiction is that we learn how to become self-supporting.

When we begin a searching and fearless moral inventory, we often list the obvious things we know are not in keeping with God's will.

Jesus said that the greatest commandment is, love God with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our mind.

Moses, the man whom God appointed to bring His chosen people out of slavery in Egypt wrote the following Psalm.

What on earth is a hyrax and what does it have to do with my recovery?

When God wants to paint a picture, He does so very effectively.

When we say we have given our will and life over to the care of God, what does that mean to us?

Sobriety and living in recovery is never a one-person activity.

Some of us wonder where life will take us if we give our will and life over to the care of God.
