Meditations on ""

Experience over time is something treasured in recovery circles.

What's the real root of my anger? Do I want to get rid of anger? What am I willing to do to be free from destructive anger?

The God who created this earth and put natural laws in place has also given us spiritual laws that are in operation.

God now gets praise from others through the witness of our life with Him in recovery.

We are blessed today with a clear conscience as we confess our wrongs to God and let Him remove our sin from us.

Are we engaging in an activity to improve our life and our relationships or are we simply trying to numb our feelings and let the world go by?

Where we go from here can be beyond all we could ask for or even imagine.

God has forgiven us for the wrongs we have done and now we need to ask forgiveness of those we have harmed and, if possible, work towards reconciliation.

To prevent relapse in vulnerable times we need to allow our lives to be continuously shaped by God's principles.

How many times did we think we were smart enough to get away with something that was dishonest, and it didn’t cause us any concern as long as we were not caught? To avoid problems in life and in our recovery this kind of thinking and behaving needs to change.

An essential part of our life with God in recovery is recognizing what is harmful and decaying and what is healthy and returning to life after a time of dormancy.

To succeed at living well in recovery with God, we need to rely on His promises.  The comforting words we read in the Bible help us persevere through the trials and the pain that we experience.
