Meditations on "Truth"

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

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!

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.

Some of us who have lived a long time in addiction often feel like there’s not much to live for, and that opportunities to do well have passed us by.

Most of us have a face come to mind when we are asked to think of someone who is a "know-it-all.

Just for today I will try to live through this day only, and not tackle all my problems at once.

The story is told of a pig and a chicken having a conversation about a meal they want to provide for their friends.

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

In this season of the year we prepare our hearts for the annual celebration of Christ’s birth.

The slogan “Guilt – the gift that keeps on giving” is often mentioned in recovery circles.

To be flexible means that we are adaptable and willing to yield when circumstances require short or long-term change.

When we are not feeling good about ourselves or our performance and someone takes the time to encourage us with kind words, we immediately start to feel better.
