Meditations on "Surrender"

It does not take much time in recovery for us to realize how much better life can be than we ever thought possible.

To stop using our substance of choice is a great beginning in recovery but God knows that unless we deal with the underlying root of our habits and addictive practices, we will remain doomed for failure.

When we come to God and admit that we are helpless to live life on our own and choose to surrender our will and life into His care, we are born again to a new life.

We lost our way. That's an obvious fact. We fell into an addictive and destructive lifestyle.

God’s way is uncomplicated if we will simply follow His principles.

People with discernment usually do the right thing in each situation that arises.

What comes to mind when we say or hear the word "serenity"?

We came into recovery because we knew life wasn’t working.

Every week, or every other week, people put out trash cans and recycling bins so they are ready for the scheduled collections in their community.

Moving forward in identifying character defects and allowing God to help us develop our true character is no easy process.

Only after a time of living in recovery with God do we realize how ridiculous we must have sounded when “we told God our plans.

Some people who have no relationship with God will pray when they are in trouble or when they really need help in a time of great distress.
