Meditations on "Recovery"

Infidelity in a relationship has harmed many of us.

Recognizing and marking milestones (clean time in recovery) is a way to celebrate our sobriety and to give hope to those involved in our daily lives as well as those who attend recovery meetings with us.

Tonight, many children put on costumes and go door-to-door “trick-or-treating.

An important character strength to develop is tolerance, which is being patient, understanding, and accepting of something different from what we are familiar with.

How do we find the courage to try something new or go after what we really want?

God created us in love and desires that we love Him with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our strength, with all our mind, and that we love our neighbour as ourselves.

Many of us lost our true identity because we grew up in dysfunctional families and were forced to assume survival roles.

Since God has always loved us and consistently called us to Himself, it makes sense that in recovery we can expect God’s grace and love to take us forward.

A dollar bill is only as good as the government or bank that has promised to give value to the holder of the bill.

Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path .

Our pride often keeps us from asking for what we need.

After years of listening to another’s harsh and condemning words about us, it’s wonderful to have an opportunity to experience the affirmation of God and to be reminded that as we walk with Him, He is well pleased with us.
