February 18 v 13 TWELVE STEPPING WITH POWER IN THE PROVERB

Spouting off before listening to the facts

is both shameful and foolish.

STEP 7 - We humbly asked God to remove our shortcomings.

The Proverb is describing me ! Why is it we hold onto the old ways of doing things. I really have a hard time with step six and seven . Just when I think I have reached the next level wham something else pops up and I realize , I have not moved an inch. Just the other day i heard something from someone and immediately I finished their story and then I decided how they can and what they can do to fix their problem. Well guess what I was all wrong and I pissed the person off . This is so difficult but we have got to learn to shut the trap and listen God gave us two ears and one mouth for a reason.

Jesus said I am the truth the life the way no one comes unto the father but through me.

February 17 v 20 TWELVE STEPPING WITH POWER IN THE PROVERB

The crooked heart will not prosper;

the lying tongue tumbles into trouble.

STEP 6 - We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

crooked - Informal Dishonest or unscrupulous; fraudulent.

I placed the definition of the word crooked here so we can get a better understanding of what the Proverb is trying to teach.

My life in addiction was all of the above and then some. This why step six is so important . God is the only one who can transform and remove our old destructive behaviors. The steps and the Proverb will help you discover what you need to do. God is the only one who has the power to get you through the steps that is why he is mentioned in most of them. If God created Heaven and earth how much more can He do for you His greatest creation.

Jesus said I am the truth ,the life the way ,no one comes unto the father but through me.

Plans go wrong for lack of advice;

many advisers bring success.

 STEP 12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, I will try to carry this message to others and I will try to practice these principles in all of my affairs.

That is what I would like Recovery Connections to be known for. A safe place for someone to go to , to get the answers , love , support and respect they deserve. We are not addicts we are brothers and sisters in need of some love and guidance. Every single member of this group when visiting the site should feel a sense of purpose , acceptance , and the freedom to share their hearts and struggles. Step twelve for me is a lifestyle and I love each and everyone of my brothers and sisters in recovery. When I was out there lost in that sea of addiction the one thing I searched for most was love and acceptance. Drugs and alcohol lied to me and tried to destroy and kill me.Only by Gods grace I managed to escape. It was those who felt that sense of gratitude from receiving that same Grace who reached out to me and helped me find my way. All of us like the Proverb says must band together as one to save some. Thank you to each and every member of Recovery Connections you truly are the Heroes in recovery.

Jesus said I am the truth the life the way no one comes unto the Father except through me.
