Meditations on "Wisdom"

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.

We came into recovery because life as we knew it was not working.

How many of us have lashed out in anger against a person who has harmed us?

Trying to be perfect is a mean task master yet many of us live in the fear of making mistakes and hide in shame and addictive behaviour when we stumble.

Coming out of addiction and living in sobriety is always challenging and should be lived one day at a time.

When we see those with evil plans prosper, we often wonder why God would allow them to do so.

To hate is to have an intense dislike for something or someone.

God is tender and compassionate. Knowing and believing that God tenderly watches over us with compassion will allow our hearts to be filled with peace.

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

We say it over and over again because it is true every day of our life: “We are powerless on our own.

An autonomous person is someone who is capable of making an informed decision about something on their own without having the input of another.

Little by little as we walk with God and work the steps, we become aware of who we are and how we relate to others.
