Recovery Meditations

Hitting bottom is the place we reach in our addiction where we finally admit that we have a problem, and we cannot resolve it on our own.

In addiction we were often unfaithful to our promises.

It is a wonderful practice to take time daily to be thankful for all that we have, and all that God has promised us.

God invites us to joy and peace, to forgiveness and a loving relationship.

Just for today I will be unafraid, believing that as I trust in God with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding, He will lead me along a good path.

Many of us struggle with health issues both in our bodies and in our minds.

In recovery meetings we’ve heard some people tell “war stories” that made us cringe and which may have triggered something negative in those who were listening.

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

Over the long haul, how do we prevent relapse into addictive behaviour and maintain our choice to live in the love and grace of God?

In the Bible Jesus told a story of three servants who were given various amounts of money to use or invest on behalf of their master.

Recovery is hard work. Sometimes we feel joy in the journey and other times we don’t seem to feel anything at all.

At many points in our recovery journey the character defect of evasiveness may begin to surface.
