Recovery Meditations

A mustard seed is very small but in only three months it can grow and produce a mature harvest.

Each person has many decisions to make each day. At any given time we may find ourselves at that place where two roads meet and wonder which road we should take.

Hunger, thirst, and shelter from the elements must be satisfied daily for someone to stay healthy.

What do we think makes a person great and someone we would highly regard?

To cope with living in our addictive lifestyle we often repressed our moral thinking and denied the downward trend we were on.

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Have you ever tried to put together a toy or a piece of furniture which came with detailed instructions which you ignored, and then near the end found an important piece which needed to go in place at the beginning for the whole thing to perfectly fit together?

Just for today I will be agreeable. I will not criticize, not find fault, and not try to improve or control anybody except myself.

Someone has rightly said, "If you are not part of the solution then you are part of the problem.

Whether they admit it or not, everyone longs for someone to listen to them and care for them.

Control issues are widespread in addiction and are a problem for both the addict and for those who care about them.

When we first come into a recovery meeting and someone is asked to share their experience, strength, and hope with the group, we are often cynical in our thoughts about what the person is saying.
