Sid's Recovery

"God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world." -- C. S. Lewis

And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice — the kind He will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship Him. (Romans 12:1)

Having accepted my own powerlessness (John 5:19,30) and began to accept God as my only hope of living a victorious life (John 15:5), I learned that by giving my will to God I could have victories over all of my temptations.

Once I began practicing these first three steps, God began leading me through all the other steps, before I even knew what they were. If the thought of having to do 12 steps in order to deal with your pain frightens you, don't worry. It's these first three (I Can't..., God Can..., I Choose to let Him...) that really make the difference between a life of failure and a life filled with victory! Come, and experience the power!

Remember that "God has said, I will never fail you. I will never abandon you." (Hebrews 13:5)

"Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him." (Step 3)
