Meditations on "Relationship"

We come into recovery because we are tired and worn out from the physical and emotional consequences of a lifestyle of addiction and the destruction it imposes.

Rudeness shows itself in our speech and actions towards others.

We all want progress in our life in recovery but what are the actual goals we want to achieve?

Today in our nation, we celebrate Mother's Day. Many things hinder us from having a loving relationship with our mothers.

For some of us being alone and in control of our own life makes us feel safe.

The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous discusses building relationships and how joy will impact our ability to do so.

When we have hurt someone, we need to take responsibility for the harm we have caused and do all in our power to make things right.

A person with a victim mentality has learned to focus on suffering while trying to avoid more at any cost.

As we go forward in recovery, we have come to the realization that we are accountable for the actions we have done, the behaviour that has impacted our relationships, and the problems we created throughout our life in addiction.

In “How It Works” we read and hear the following words read regularly at meetings: Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path.

Some of us slid into destructive and addictive lifestyles out of a desire to belong and have friends.
