Meditations on "Wisdom"

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.

We all know that our thoughts and emotions significantly impact our health.

When we look at people who appear to have it all together, we envy them, especially when our life is not harmonious or as complete as we would like it to be.

Honesty, balance, and realism are essential tools to keep at hand as we sort out and rebuild relationships.

How many of us are confident in our decision making?

The 12-Step Road often seems a long and winding one to us and some of us think we can reach our destination by taking shortcuts that are more agreeable.

Many of us who have lived a long time in addiction often feel like there’s not much to live for and opportunities to do well in life have passed us by.

We came into recovery because life as we knew it was not working.

How many of us have lashed out in anger against a person who has harmed us?

Trying to be perfect is a mean task master yet many of us live in the fear of making mistakes and hide in shame and addictive behaviour when we stumble.
