Meditations on "Relationship"

Contentment in life does not come from trying to control someone so they will meet our needs, or by trying to please someone so they will like us and make us feel secure.

We come into recovery because we recognize we are powerless over addictive substances, people, or things that we've become dependent on to sustain life as we know it.

Many of us had our character shaped in addiction by isolation and getting our own way in whatever way we could.

Happy New Year! There is a line in a Christian music song which says, God has "opened up my future, closed my past.

Many of us face a new year wondering about the unknown.

As we consider our future, we need to take time to reflect on where we have been and where we want to go from here.

Meditating on God’s word in the Bible and prayer to our Heavenly Father are positive daily habits that help us rebuild our lives.

People travel from one end of the country to the other to be with family during the Christmas season.

Gossip shows up in our lives in many forms. God hates them all because He knows how harmful destructive words are to our dignity and our relationships.

We all know that staying sober starts with not picking up a drink or our drug of choice or returning to whatever our destructive habit was.

One of the greatest obstacles to receiving and living in God’s absolute forgiveness is that we haven’t truly repented.

Forgiveness happens when a person willingly forgives the wrongs that have been committed against them by another.
