Meditations on "Truth"

To live with wisdom in recovery requires humility. We need to acknowledge, “I don’t really know what is best for me but I’m willing to try new ways and learn from the experience of others.

We started lying a long time ago to cover up and hide from the truth.

As our time increases in recovery one of the enemies we need to guard against is becoming complacent.

How far is the east from the west? It is a distance we cannot travel and a destination we can never reach.

If we are determined to do our own thing, God will allow us to make bad choices.

Many of us have been in the company of others who think they know everything but when they open their mouths not much wisdom comes out.

Each person has many decisions to make each day. At any given time we may find ourselves at that place where two roads meet and wonder which road we should take.

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

Just for today I will be agreeable. I will not criticize, not find fault, and not try to improve or control anybody except myself.

Control issues are widespread in addiction and are a problem for both the addict and for those who care about them.

There is no more tiring way of life than living as a phony.

We lost our way. That is an obvious fact. We fell into addictive and destructive lifestyles.
