The Road to Recovery:
- Realize I'm not God; I
admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong
thing and my life is unmanageable.
"Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor..."
- Earnestly believe that
God exists, that I matter to him, and that he has the power to
help me recover. "Happy are those who
mourn, for they shall be comforted..."
- Consciously choose to
commit all my life and will to Christ's care and control.
"Happy are the meek..."
- Openly examine and
confess my faults to God, to myself, and to another person whom
I trust. "Happy are the pure in
heart..."
- Voluntarily submit to
any and all changes God wants to make in my life.
"Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do
what God requires..."
- Evaluate all my
relationships, offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and
make amends for harm I've done to others when possible, without
expecting any reward. "Happy are the
merciful..." "Happy are the peacemakers..."
- Reserve a daily time with God
for prayer, Bible reading, and self-examination in order to know
God and his will for my life and to gain the power to follow his
will.
- Yield myself to be used
by God to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and
by my words. "Happy are those who are
persecuted because they do what God requires..."
