Meditations on "Wisdom"

Learning how to communicate well is an essential part of this new life with God in recovery that we are now living.

When we begin the recovery process we are often overwhelmed by the guilt and shame of the mess we have made of our lives. Being confident in our minds that we can live a positive and joyful life is half the battle.

We should never, by our words or actions, humiliate others, regardless of their position, their viewpoint, or their religion

The heart and soul of what goes on is done by ordinary people helping ordinary individuals stand up and move forward in their lives.

Today we have a choice either to live by our feelings or to live according to God’s truth.

Thinking right will have a major impact on our emotions and on our general well-being.

It’s time to give up the tunnel vision of first looking to our own interests and, only when it is convenient, looking to the interests of others. Most important, it is time to give our energy and attention to God’s interests, because we will then experience the blessing of right relationship with Him and with others.

Accountability means we have agreed to certain rules of conduct and are making every effort to live by these rules.

We need God’s help to identify our shortcomings and the infilling of the Holy Spirit to give us the will and the power to remove them.

Keeping a record of wrongs often leads to the winding path of relapse and active addiction.

“Street smarts” took us to a dead-end on the road of life. Applying God’s wisdom will bring us to a full and satisfying life.

While some may think that expressing anger is a sign of strength, it is actually allowing our weakness to show. For us to get well we need to learn new ways to handle stress or fearful circumstances.
