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.
