Meditations on "Relapse"

The Bible makes it clear that God detests lying. Most of the time we did not speak the truth.

Being grateful for the people around us and the things we have contributes to living a contented life in recovery.

Across recovery circles we've been exposed to the word “HALT” (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired) and its significance in our recovery.

Emotions, stress, illness, troubles in a relationship, or just talking about the past can trigger an obsession in us to relapse.

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

As our time increases in recovery one of the enemies we need to guard against is becoming complacent.

Too often one of the faulty measures people use for determining the success of a person is how much money they have made.

One of the central pillars of the recovery world is the sharing of our experience, strength, and hope.

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

Turning our will and life over to the care of God as we understand Him is just the beginning of our new life with God in recovery.

Many of us, especially early in recovery, find it difficult to control impulsive behaviour.

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