Meditations on "Truth"

Addicts tell lies. We tell ourselves we need our substance of choice in order to deal with the day.

Shout for joy to the Lord, everyone on earth. Worship the Lord with gladness.

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

We feel guilty for all sorts of reasons. When we were running wild in our addiction, we were not even aware of the harm we were causing.

We are experts at rationalizing – attempting to excuse, minimize, or justify our bad behaviour.

Jesus always spoke the truth. He encouraged people to follow Him because He is the way, the truth, and the life.

As we continue to pay attention and do what God’s word says He will reveal more of His will for our lives.

In the Bible we read over and over again how Jesus was sensitive to people and what they were going through.

Just seeing the words "good reputation" brings a wry smile to those of us who have lived with something quite different for various periods of our life.

Life in recovery without God is just not worth it. The Bible speaks truthfully about this.

Honesty, balance, and realism are essential tools to keep at hand as we sort out and rebuild relationships.

Broken relationships are a significant issue in most relapses back into active addiction.
