Meditations on "Truth"

Life in recovery is about living in truth, and the truth is that on our own our hearts are vulnerable.

The Bible contains a story that is reflected in the slogan, “Live and let live.

The purpose of Step 6 of the 12-Step program is to help us address those personal defects of character that result from our discontentment with life.

When we first come into recovery, we may have feelings of anxiety or depression.

A sincere person is one who is honest, who doesn’t create false impressions, and who doesn’t operate with selfish motives.

We are spiritual beings who have a soul and live in a body.

All of us are vulnerable to relapse when we are feeling lonely, frustrated or dissatisfied with life.

At many points in our recovery journey the character defect of evasiveness may begin to surface.

As God draws us into a deeper relationship with Himself, the devil and his forces of darkness try to make us doubt Him.

Why do we continue to do things our own way when it obviously isn’t working?

Over the long haul, how do we prevent relapse into addictive behaviour and maintain our choice to live in the love and grace of God?

It's summertime – time for rest and recreation and hopefully some quality time with friends and/or family.
