Meditations on "Wisdom"

Who is more resourceful than an addict in need? Desperation really fuels the ability to find quick and clever ways to overcome difficulties.

The contrast of destructive self-centeredness in active addiction versus the healthy lifestyle of supporting one another in recovery is clearly expressed in Promise 7 of A.

In our addictive lifestyle we made poor choices and walked paths that caused harm to ourselves and to others.

We hang around with all sorts of people in a variety of situations.

How can I get discernment? What do I do with it when I get it?

People with discernment will naturally do the right thing in each situation.

Recovery meetings have common formats from place to place and there is structure to the way things are done.

Step 10 of the 12-Step program advises us to continue to take personal inventory and, when we are wrong, promptly admit it.

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

Employers negotiate work contracts with individuals and unions.

Steps 1, 2, and 3 of the 12-Step program help us develop faith in Jesus Christ, a power greater than ourselves who can restore us to sanity.

God wants us to “get it right.” If we will pay attention to, and obey what we learn from God’s Word, God’s Spirit will lead us on the right path every time.
