Meditations on "Truth"

Our attitude can be like medicine that heals or like poison that kills.

When we have admitted to ourselves and another human being the harm we have caused, the next step is to ask God to forgive us and free us from our self-centered way of living.

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

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

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

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

N In certain situations, when our behaviour is challenged, we are quick to try to justify ourselves.

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

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

In the process of getting to know God and coming to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity, we are often not sure that God will hear and answer our prayers.

When we confess the exact nature of our wrongs, the terrible isolation we've lived with for most of our lives will be exposed.
