Meditations on "Truth"

We got to where we are today by our own irrational thinking and flawed solutions.

While writing to a group of Christians the apostle Paul told them to be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.

Recovery begins when we come to our senses and affirm that we are powerless over alcohol or some other substance or habit and that our lives have become unmanageable.

We are strengthened to stay free of addiction because God is guiding and supporting us each step of the way.

Growing up many of us remember hearing the cute Christmas song, “All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, my two front teeth, see my two front teeth!

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

Why is it easier to see where others need to improve rather than see our own need?

Disharmony in our family, addiction, poverty, loneliness or other conflicts may have been part of our story.

This is the season of the year when we prepare our hearts for the annual celebration of Christ’s birth.

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

Dishonesty is a tool we use to protect ourselves from the shame and guilt we feel when challenging moments arise.

Step 10 advises us to continue to take personal inventory and, when we are wrong, promptly admit it.
