As we come out of the isolation of addiction and move into the life God created us to live it’s good to ask ourselves, “How am I being a friend?”

To live in recovery is to live as respectful people, honouring God and those God loves. How does my speech reflect this?

Are we a person with genuine compassion who seeks to help another?

Integrity is one of the most valued character qualities a person can have.  A person of integrity has strong moral and ethical principles.  They are known to be honest regardless of their circumstances or the company they are keeping or when alone with no one watching.  What you see on the outside is the same person they are on the inside.

What does it mean to be a person with discretion? This is something we don’t often see practiced as we live in a culture where people want to “speak about their truth” regardless of the impact on others. It's a challenge to both gain and practice discrectionbut we are given clear help in the Bible.

God wants us to be responsible and generous with all He has given us – time, abilities, money, possessions. God does not want us to carelessly spend the money and resources we have as soon as we get them, with no thought about what we might need in the future. He also wants us to help others even though we might feel our resources are limited. God wants us to ask for wisdom and seek His will in how we use the resources we have been given.  He promises to bless us when we do.
