Meditations on "Truth"

Soft addictions are habits or behaviors we use to control distressing moods or thought patterns.

God invites us to a life of gentleness where we honour truth, respect the dignity of everyone, including ourselves, and delight in the joy and wonder of each new day.

In the Bible Jesus told a story about a father and two sons.

At various times on our recovery journey we are asked to take personal inventory.

While we were living in addiction our agenda each day was completely centered on meeting our daily needs.

A healthy foundation for life with God in recovery includes seeking truth in all our affairs.

What is loyalty? Someone who is loyal is dependable and will do what they have committed to do.

Being a phony is an intensely tiring way to live. Giving false impressions and lying to cover up attitudes or behaviours drains us of joy and energy.

To experience success in our life with God in recovery we must make a commitment to be thorough in our search for truth and then apply each learned truth to our thoughts and behaviours.

How many of us have fallen to places in life where we never thought we would find ourselves again?

While living in addiction we were emotionally unavailable to God, to others, and to ourselves.

As we come to the end of this year, a year filled with both accomplishments and failures, it’s time to reflect on the events that brought growth and joy in our journey with God in recovery.
