Recovery Meditations

Many of us know from personal experience and from what we have seen and heard from others that the consequences of a lifestyle of drug or alcohol misuse are painfully destructive.

At 2 a.m. today in North America we changed from daylight saving time back to standard time.

As we recover, do we ever stop to consider what the deepest longing of our heart is?

Growing and being renewed day by day is part of our physical, emotional, and spiritual life.

It’s time to confess the error of our ways when we choose to deal with life situations in the isolation of our own minds and hearts.

Jesus is our role model for how to live well with God in recovery.

When we come to Step 4 in the 12-Step program we are asked to focus on ourselves and make a searching and fearless moral inventory.

God is willing to support and strengthen us as we lay down our self-directed ways and invite Him to lead us along the path He has chosen for us.

In active addiction we seldom made the right choice and even now in recovery it is still a learning process.

Even though we may desire to daily walk with God and follow His ways, we will still need God's help to accomplish that goal.

The longer we live in sobriety the more we recognize that we have lots to learn.

When we encounter a promise of God in the Bible, do we stop and think about what God is saying?
