Meditations on "Recovery"

Our old ways of thinking and behaving are being transformed as we journey with God in our new life in recovery.

Today we remember blood that was spilled on battlefields around the world by brave men and women who gave their lives for the cause of freedom and justice.

The founders of AA and the 12 Steps were aware of Biblical principles and based on these, they structured the program of Alcoholics Anonymous to include peer counselors whom we call sponsors.

No one likes trouble. We all want trouble to go away as quickly as possible.

In our life in recovery daily circumstances may often feel overwhelming and confusing.

Due to the oppression of our addictive lifestyle, many of us made a move towards recovery only to struggle and relapse.

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.

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.
