Meditations on "Truth"

Step 10 of the 12-Step program advises us to continue to take personal inventory and, when we are wrong, promptly admit it.

T Often when we come into recovery we miss our old way of life and the people we socialized with.

One of our first priorities in recovery is sorting our life practices according to the truth.

T Many of us are plagued throughout the day with a nagging sense of guilt.

Steps 1, 2, and 3 of the 12-Step program help us develop faith in Jesus Christ, a power greater than ourselves who can restore us to sanity.

A saying we often hear is, “What goes around comes around.

As we seek to restore a clear conscience before God we need to examine the truthfulness of our society’s values.

There will always be things that are right and good in our lives, and other things that are yet to be sorted out.

Those of us who live for the approval of others are not led but driven.

Step 5 of the 12-Step program of A.A. asks that we admit to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

For some of us being alone and in control of our own life makes us feel safe.

Recovery is hard work. Sometimes we feel joy in the journey and other times we don’t seem to feel anything at all.
