Meditations on "Truth"

As kids many of us sang an action song with the words, “The head bone connected to the neck bone, the neck bone connected to the shoulder bone” and on and on down the bones to the toes.

We all know that our thoughts and emotions significantly impact our health.

Addicts tell lies. We tell ourselves we need our substance of choice in order to deal with the issues of the day.

In Step Eleven, through prayer and meditation, we seek to improve our conscious contact with God, praying only for knowledge of His will for us, and the power to carry it out.

When we look at people who appear to have it all together, we envy them, especially when our life is not harmonious or as complete as we would like it to be.

All of us are vulnerable to relapse when we are feeling lonely, frustrated or dissatisfied with life.

Honesty, balance, and realism are essential tools to keep at hand as we sort out and rebuild relationships.

How many of us are confident in our decision making?

The 12-Step Road often seems a long and winding one to us and some of us think we can reach our destination by taking shortcuts that are more agreeable.

Many of us who have lived a long time in addiction often feel like there’s not much to live for and opportunities to do well in life have passed us by.

Reading the following Psalm is a great way to start the day.

Life in recovery is about living in truth, and the truth is that on our own our hearts are vulnerable.
