Never the same again....

Galatians 5:1 Christ has set us free to live a free life. So take your stand! Never again let anyone put a harness of slavery on you.



Admission addiction is never easy, making it public is even harder. However, being honest about it with ourselves and others helps us amend our ways. The process of recovery begins with hope -




hope that things can be different by abstaining from our drug of choice and changing our ways of living and acting.



Through hope we learn and apply the principles of recovery to our lives. This develops new found faith.



faith that things can and will be different because we are different in so many ways.



From faith we learn to put our trust in the one true Higher Power, Jesus Christ and apply the new characteristics we develop from recovery to our daily living. This then leads to love.



love for God and others, unconditoional love that does not depend on us geting what we want but what we need to live victorious lives of service in reaching out to others who are still suffering.




Through applying hope, faith and love to our daily lives, one day at a time we experience new freedom and grow in strength and commitment to the recovery process.

Is your God too small?

O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than the heavens. You have taught children and infants to tell of your strength,silencing your enemies and all who oppose you.
Psalm 8:1-2 (New Living Translation)


God is full of surprises! He mixes the normal with the totally unexpected and the natural with the supernatural. His ways are often beyond our understanding, His power beyond our expectations and He always manages to surprise us. He is incomprehensible in His sovereignty, inexhaustible in His resources and unfathomable in His reserves. In our lives and in our recoveries we often fail to credit God with the fullness and wonder He deserves. Yet He is always ready to give personal time and personal attention too us each.

When you think of God - think BIG. Set your sights on appreciating who He is and what He has done for us.


God promises "If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me." Jeremiah 29:13. Acknowledging the wonder of God in our lives can be the first step to an enlarged vision of Him for many of us and a refreshing appreciation of His personal interest in us each.

God, teach me lessons for living so I can stay the course Psalm 119:34
