Recovery - Transformation
When our lives crashed we were lost. What happened to our dreams? Where is God & how do we connect with Him?
Can we be forgiven?
All of us have feelings that overwhelm us. Trying to escape we had floundered in addictions: alcoholism, workaholism,
anger, drugs. Wrong choices had torn our lives apart.
First, we got sober. Then we surrendered. Our recovery began.
We couldn’t make it on our own, but God could, & did help us.
Loving relationships taught us how to
handle emotions that had overwhelmed us.
In time we understand the “hell habits” we developed to survive.
When we became willing to exchange them for
life-giving habits, our transformation began.
Starting Options in Recovery:
These resources helped us
start our lives over.
AA & Al-Anon: These programs are long-proven, life saving gatherings. They are found in almost every community. search them out online, in your local communities, ask people. These meetings can be found in churches, in hospitals, places where people gather who have experienced the breakdown of their lives & are looking for answers & help, which is freely shared with others who are various stages of their recovery from the damage of escaping behaviors/addictions.
Professional counseling: though expensive, it is invaluable to specific challenges we all must make that requires expertise. Often covered by insurance. a note: if you need to take time to find someone you feel comfortable with, get started, but keep shopping. Sometimes the best help can feel frustrating at first.
In-House Recovery programs: approximately 30 days, sometimes longer, sometimes covered by insurance. These options saved our lives & speeded up our recovery.

An Essential Skill: Personal Inventory
“All people with effective, productive lives take personal inventories.”
Cont’d—Whose Responsibility Is It?
“It’s what you do, how you act, when you feel big emotions that reveals your maturity.”
Whose Responsibility Is It?
"As long as you believe that other people can make you feel certain things, or others can make your life go a certain way you are throwing away your power."
