Meditations on "Relapse"

To be responsible recovering addicts, we need to have regular contact with God and seek His wisdom and His will for our lives.

How many of us check out the soil in which we want to grow plants or vegetables?

One of the great comforts and challenges, all at the same time, is the reality that we are powerless to manage our lives on our own.

Keeping a record of wrongs often leads to the winding path of relapse and active addiction.

Many who struggle with addictive behaviour are not happy because their lives are unfulfilled, and they are not achieving what they really want in life.

All of us are vulnerable to relapse when we are feeling lonely, frustrated or dissatisfied with life.

We have all experienced the ups and downs of recovery.

Coming out of addiction and living in sobriety is always challenging and should be lived one day at a time.

Being a “dry drunk” is a term used to describe a person whose current actions and attitude remain the same as when they were drinking.

After living so long in the self-centered world of addiction, it’s not easy to come into recovery and build relationships with other human beings, particularly those who have lived in self-centered ways just like us.

We started lying a long time ago to cover up and hide from the truth.

One of the central pillars of the recovery world is the sharing of each person’s experience, strength, and hope.
