Meditations on ""

T Often when we come into recovery we miss our old way of life and the people we socialized with.

Living in addiction is chaotic. A person is never at peace either in mind or body.

One of our first priorities in recovery is sorting our life practices according to the truth.

Employers negotiate work contracts with individuals and unions.

We feel many things in recovery. Some negative and others positive.

T Many of us are plagued throughout the day with a nagging sense of guilt.

One of the ways many of us try to hide our hurt and anger is through sarcasm.
