Meditations on "Truth"

Living in addiction is living emotionally unavailable to God, to others, and to ourselves.

We are not very far into our recovery program when we come face to face with Step Four which asks us to make a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

When making decisions in life, God tells us to first seek His counsel and then do what He says is right.

We experience true freedom when we have a clean slate with God.

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.
