Recovery Meditations

Shame is a powerful emotion which repeatedly tells us that we are worthless, unacceptable, unforgiveable, and have no place in a loving relationship.

Often people who have no relationship with God will pray when they are in trouble or when they urgently need help in a time of great distress.

Practicing an attitude of gratitude – is this just a happy little slogan or is it a way of daily living that will change our outlook on life?

In the Bible we read of all the good things that God will do for those who have given their will and life into His care.

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.

Living in recovery and following the Twelve Steps is a spiritual journey.

A healthy foundation for life with God in recovery includes seeking truth in all our affairs.
