Meditations on "Truth"

As we work our recovery program we find that life changes.

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

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.

We are strengthened to stay free of as we allow God to guide and support us each step of the way.

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

L This is the season of the year when we prepare our hearts for the annual celebration of Christ’s birth.

Disharmony in our family, addiction, poverty, loneliness or other conflicts may be part of our life’s story.

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

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

We started lying a long time ago to cover up and hide from the truth.

G Living with God in recovery often presents difficult challenges such as: waiting for something we feel desperately in need of right now; not retaliating with anger when someone offends us; living with less when we could scam our way into having more; and facing the consequences of revealing difficult truths.

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