Meditations on "Recovery"

When we begin our new life with God in recovery we often get discouraged because we feel we are unable to control the urges of our old nature.

As we continue our life with God in recovery it is wise to establish accountability for our actions, first to God and then to another person.

The only antidote for hurt, frustration, and anger is love and plenty of it.

Thinking and acting on our own self-centered thoughts often results in confusion and grief.

People who wink at wrong cause trouble, but a bold reproof promotes peace.

The Serenity Prayer is the common name for a prayer authored by the American theologian Reinhold Niebuhr.

Unrealistic expectations will lead us to disappointment and, if we are not careful, may also lead us to relapse.

When we notice the shortcomings in our character, do we immediately have a sense of remorse or are we more likely to try to justify them?

When we say we have given our will and life over to the care of God, what does that mean to us?

God's kingdom runs on the laws of love and peace. It really does!

Depending on a given situation, we often find ourselves caught up in the conflict of our desire for justice or mercy.

Sobriety in recovery is never a one-person activity.
