Writings of Recovery

I went on a 10 mile beach hike with the intention to meditate in praise, worship, and focus on gratitude to my Higher Power.  The rhythm and cadence of walking the long distance on a quiet beach helped me to free my mind of external influences and be open to hearing from my Higher Power.

Listening to a worship song, the chorus repeated over and over, ‘You are always good’.

So I sang out loud to my HP over and over:

You are always good

You  are always good

You are always good

Higher Power then sang back me:

You are always good

You are always good

You are always good

My inner parent then hugged my inner child and sang:

You were always good

You were always good

You were always good

On this day, there was healing that could only have come from my Higher Power.

In the 12 Steps, we have learned that even though we fail, we are not failures.

Even though we make mistakes, we are not mistakes.

Even though we made bad choices, we are not bad people.

We are always good.
