RECOVERY MEDITATIONS
One Day at a Time
The members and trusted servants of The Recovery Group take pride in presenting to you their original recovery reflections and meditations relating to our experience of working the 12 Steps. We receive invaluable inspiration and connection as we discover that none of us walks this journey alone. Our walls of isolation, shame and pain are removed brick-by-brick when we see that others have passed this way before us and have not only survived, but thrived! We hope that you will be encouraged as you read this inspired collection of the experience, strength and hope of people working the Twelve Step recovery program.
The Recovery Meditations are distributed daily to all members of our community. We have provided a subscribers' list for those who are not members of The Recovery Group. To subscribe, please send a blank message to:

TITANIC
“Men at some time are masters of their fates.” |
APATHY
"The world is a dangerous place to live;
not because of the people who are evil,
but because of the people who don't do anything about it." |
VICTIMIZATION
"Within each of us lies the power of our consent to health and to sickness,
to riches and to poverty, to freedom and to slavery.
It is we who control these, and not another."
|
HUMAN EMOTION
"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.
Only through experiences of trial and suffering
can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared,
ambition inspired and success achieved."
|
NEW WORLD
"A new world is not made simply by trying to forget the old.
A new world is made with a new spirit, with new values."
|
LETTING GO
"We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us."
|
EFFORT
"Only I can change my life.
|
FORGIVENESS
"You keep carryin' that anger, |
REGRET
"Regret is an appalling waste of energy;
you can't build on it;
it's only good for wallowing in."
|
TRUST
" 'Come to the edge,' he said. |
PAIN
"Your pain is the breaking of the shell
that encloses your understanding." |
PROMISES
"We will intuitively know how to handle situations
which used to baffle us. We will suddenly realize that
God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves." |
