Meditations on "Recovery"

Just for today I will seek to serve others with kindness, doing what is right, and walking humbly with God.

Of all the four seasons of the year, spring seems to describe our new life in recovery the best.

At various times in recovery, especially early on, we feel vulnerable.

God’s Word often speaks about our enemies, and these are the “enemies of our soul.

We did not have a good reputation when we were living in addiction.

Whether in Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous, Tradition Three highlights that the only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking or using.

Most people long for peace of mind and heart. Life with God in recovery provides many tools which help satisfy this deep longing within us.

What we think about has a powerful impact on what we do.

God has told us to give all our cares and anxieties to him because He cares for us.

Our life in addiction was shaped by a controlling relationship with a destructive substance, a habit, a person – or a combination of these.

Seasons change. The temperature warms up. The grass begins to grow again.

We usually say an individual is “white knuckling” when they are just using willpower to stay sober.
