Meditations on "Truth"

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

In the Bible, we read of a story Jesus told about a father and two sons.

When we come into a recovery program, one of our priorities has to be sorting life according to what is true.

One of our natural responses to the pressure and challenges of daily life is to indulge in self-pity.

In early recovery our positive expectations for a life free from crippling dependencies is huge.

Co-dependency is a relationship addiction. People who are co-dependent often form relationships that are one-sided, emotionally destructive, and often abusive.

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.
