Meditations on "Truth"

To cope with living an addictive lifestyle we often repressed our moral thinking and denied the downward trend we were on.

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

We lost our way. That is an obvious fact. We fell into addictive and destructive lifestyles.

One of the keys to a successful, stable recovery is practicing gratitude.

If asked for their opinion about us, how many people would say we have the quality of being agreeable?

Life has its ups and downs and does not always treat us fairly.

One of the coping mechanisms many of us use when dealing with low-self-esteem and the humiliation of our past failures is the mask of arrogance.

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

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

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

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