Meditations on "Temptation"

Anyone who has tried to break free from the harmful use of a substance or an addictive habit does not need a dictionary to help them understand temptation.

God invites us to live in freedom. Freedom for us was so important to God that He was willing to give the life of His Son so that we could experience new life and peace.

Success in life and in recovery results from giving priority to learning and obeying God’s word.

We live in a time of war and threats of war between nations.

When we turned our will and life over to the care of God, we started a life journey of living sober.

The way to become mature in our recovery and in life in general is through prayer and meditation on what we read in the Bible.

As God draws us into a deeper relationship with Himself, the devil and his forces of darkness try to make us doubt Him and the truth of His Word as recorded in the Bible.

When Jesus was here on earth, He often went off on His own to pray.

Some time may have passed since we completed a Step Ten of the 12-Step program and we may now assume we have it all figured out and are well on our way in recovery.

Some time may have passed since we completed Step Ten, and we may be confident that we have learned a lot in our recovery.

When we confess the exact nature of our wrongs, the terrible isolation we've lived with for most of our lives will be exposed.

How many of us are confident in our decision making?
