Meditations on "Truth"

Sometimes we breathe a sigh of relief when we reach Step 12 of the 12-Step program.

Letting go of defensiveness is one necessary adjustment we need to make in order to experience growth and success in our life with God in recovery.

One of the Twelve Promises of AA tells us: We will comprehend the word serenity, and we will know peace.

Wise people are willing to listen to sound advice and learn.

When we first come into recovery our expectation for a life free from crippling dependencies is huge.

How many times did people try to help us see the truth about our problem when we were active in our addiction?

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

God won’t stop us from making bad choices. His desire for us to experience true life and love is a choice He gives us.

Little by little as we walk with God and work the steps, we gain new information about ourselves and how we relate to other people.

Each day we have many decisions to make. We may find ourselves at the place where two roads meet, and we wonder which road we should take.

As our time increases in recovery one of the enemies we need to be aware of and guard against is becoming complacent.

Good eyesight is a great gift. With our eyes we see and admire the beauty that God has put in our natural environment.
