Meditations on "Recovery"

We hang around with all sorts of people in a variety of situations.

To cope with living an addictive lifestyle we often repressed our moral thinking and denied the downward trend we were on.

The new birth we receive when we give our will and life over to the care of God is the end of our old life dominated by sinful thoughts, formed in an unspiritual mind.

Canada is a nation founded on principles that honour the God who created us.

God wants our lives to be filled with fruitfulness.

In Tradition 6 of AA we are given guidelines lest “problems of money, property and prestige divert us from our primary purpose.

There are many reasons to be thankful to the Lord for all He has done for us.

To be responsible recovering addicts, we need to have regular contact with God and seek His wisdom and His will for our lives.

When we first come into recovery many of us are intimidated by the thought of speaking to God in prayer.

To be suspicious can be good or bad depending on the circumstances.

The 12-Step road often seems a long and winding one to us and some of us think we can reach the same destination by taking shortcuts that are more agreeable.

When we say in Step 12 that we have had a spiritual wakening, we are describing the impact we have experienced as we’ve completed the first eleven steps.
