Meditations on "Truth"

I am responsible. When anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help, I want the hand of AA always to be there.

Jesus told the story of two men who went to church to pray.

At some point, in the darkness where we lived, we became aware that we were powerless over our dependencies and that our lives had become unmanageable.

Contentment in life does not come from trying to control someone so they will meet our needs, or by trying to please someone so they will like us and help us feel secure.

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

The Bible is full of God's promises to help us in our time of need.

When we get rid of something bad in our lives, we need to fill the vacancy with something good.

When we begin to reflect on our destructive and addictive lifestyle, we recognize the dumb choices we have chosen to make.

As we work our recovery program we find that life changes.

A common recovery saying is that “you must give it away in order to keep it”.

To enjoy a healthy and satisfying life in recovery we need to recognize our need for growth in areas of our character which have been compromised.

We are strengthened to stay free of as we allow God to guide and support us each step of the way.
