Meditations on "Wisdom"

We have all sorts of reasons why we think we can’t change.

In the Big Book of AA, we are advised to use discretion in knowing how much time and attention to give to one situation versus the time others might benefit from if given more of our time and support.

From cover to cover the Bible is filled with wisdom and good direction for our lives.

When we admitted that our lives had become unmanageable, many of us entered into detox and then treatment programs where we found support Each day we grew stronger.

Becoming strong and steady in our recovery requires that we keep on listening to and learning from God's Word and from the experience, strength, and hope of others.

At various times in recovery, especially early on, we feel vulnerable.

People with discernment usually do the right thing in each situation that arises.

God wants us to be responsible and generous with all He has given us – time, abilities, money, possessions.
