Meditations on "Wisdom"

Now that we are seeking to act with honesty in all our affairs, it's discouraging to face obstacles in our path while we see others lying and manipulating and getting what they want without the hassle we are experiencing.

Some of us slid into destructive and addictive lifestyles out of a desire to have friends and companions to belong to.

The contrast of destructive self-centeredness in active addiction with the healthy lifestyle of supporting one another in recovery is clearly expressed in Promise 7 of AA: We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows.

To be responsible recovering addicts, we need to have regular contact with God and seek His wisdom and His will for our lives.

If someone were to choose 3 words to describe us, would “generous” be one of them?

When we turned our will and life over to God many of us had hope for a quick turnaround in our lives.

God tells us to pray for one another, so what does that look like?

To make restitution is to restore something that was stolen or lost.

We are often reluctant to admit problems and deal with painful events as they occur.

People in recovery are those who want to learn from the experience, strength, and hope of others.

Canada's coat of arms is an official symbol of the country.

The longer we are in sobriety the more we recognize that we have lots to learn.
