Meditations on ""

Many of us have struggled with believing our Heavenly Father would treat us compassionately.

Jesus gave us very clear instructions about loving our enemies and doing good to those who spitefully use us.

Many of us have watched movies with men or woman dueling with swords.

For all of us there came a time when we could no longer avoid the realization that our lives were a mess.

What came first the chicken or the egg? When we called out to God in our powerlessness, did we suddenly show up on His ‘locating system’ or was He already waiting and available when we called for help?

Many of us who experience discontentment with life are unable to settle ourselves and be at peace.

We all want progress in our life in recovery but what are the actual goals we want to achieve?

The end of Tradition 12 in the Big Book of AA sums up an important principle in our recovery: We need to regularly count our blessings.

Often, physical or emotional abuse exists in relationships where one or both parties are in some form of addiction.

None of us will get through life without suffering.

Life is not perfect and has its challenges. It is so easy to sit back and let the obstacles and struggles of life get us down but there is another way to live that is much better.

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