Recovery Meditations

What a refreshing feeling it is to be free from the guilt of our addiction and dependencies.

When someone or something is the best that it can be, we say it is mature or complete.

We experience true freedom when we have a clean slate with God.

The Bible tells us that love is patient. How many of us would profess to be patient?

I am responsible. When anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help, I want the hand of AA always to be there.

Jesus told the story of two men who went to church to pray.

At some point, in the darkness where we lived, we became aware that we were powerless over our dependencies and that our lives had become unmanageable.

My Lord, you heard my groaning. You can hear my sighs.

Success in life and in recovery results from giving priority to learning and obeying God’s word.

Contentment in life does not come from trying to control someone so they will meet our needs, or by trying to please someone so they will like us and help us feel secure.

It’s easy for us to become discouraged and feel sorry for ourselves when life doesn’t go the way we think it should.

To be complete means that nothing is lacking. Some people have health, wealth, possessions, honour and prestige in the community.
