Recovery Meditations

When the first humans disobeyed God, they alienated themselves from God and were no longer complete as God intended.

We easily object to someone judging us when they think our decisions or actions are unwise.

How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!

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

Across recovery circles we've been exposed to the word “HALT” (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired) and its significance in our recovery.

Steadily moving forward in recovery is not easy. As we awaken out of the haze of years in addiction our minds are often filled with memories of things done to us and things we have done to others.

Just for today I will take note of one helpful thing God is saying to me and seek to behave accordingly.

Throughout the Twelve Steps we are brought face to face with the reality that we have struggled and fallen short in the way we have lived before God, others, and ourselves.

In the past, one of the lies we bought into was that the party life was where the greatest enjoyment of life was to be found.

At most recovery meetings there are lots of handshakes and hugs and "chips" or "fobs" to honour clean time.

“I am a walking miracle” is a slogan we often hear said in recovery meetings.

Broken relationships are a significant issue in most relapses back into active addiction.
