Meditations on ""

As infants and toddlers, we were not aware of what was harmful and what was good for us.

Before we came into recovery, we admitted that our lives were unmanageable, and we needed a power greater than ourselves to restore us to sanity.

Some of us wonder where life will take us if we give our will and life over to the care of God.

A lot of us express self-hatred as we look at our personal appearance and our life experiences.

Some of us in recovery circles know what it is like to live in plenty and others of us have experienced what it is like to live in poverty.

Attention seeking takes various forms, but the underlying root is a need to be noticed and cared for.

Just for today I will adjust myself to what is and not try to adjust everything else to my desires.

When we are hoping to attend a scheduled event we often rely on another person to do something that will enable us to get to the event.

What a refreshing feeling it is to be free from the guilt of our addiction and dependencies.

A lot of destructive and addictive behaviours are based in the poverty mentality that results from our belief that our needs are not being met.

Often people who have no relationship with God will pray when they are in trouble or when they urgently need help in a time of great distress.

In the middle of the Bible, just after Psalms, we find the book of Proverbs which contains all sorts of practical wisdom about everyday living.
