There is no satisfaction in a partially committed life in recovery. Fulfillment does not come from picking and choosing what we will have, and what we will not have. Fulfillment comes from a God-directed life where His commandments are obeyed wholeheartedly. The consequences of disobedience are clearly outlined in the Bible. Failure to stay away from all types of harmful behaviour weakens us spiritually and makes us vulnerable to attacks that keep us from experiencing the freedom that God intends for us to have. New life comes when we willingly let go of our old ways.


Life with God in recovery requires an individual to be thorough in both their willingness to change and in their actions. At all times, with family members and friends, in all our affairs, we must strive to obey God and consistently practice recovery principles. This includes dealing with the issues of our heart as well as our visible behaviour. Half measures lead to relapse and more suffering for ourselves and those who care for us. Let us be fearless and thorough today.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, My desire is to make healthy choices that will result in a purposeful life. Help me to wholeheartedly live in the way that pleases you. Amen
