9-13-17 TWELVE STEPPING WITH SUPPORT FROM SCRIPTURE

Psalm 107 v 2 -Has the Lord Redeemed you? Then speak out! Tell others He has redeemed you from your enemies (addiction).

Step 12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of prayer and the Steps, we tried to carry this message to others and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

The Gift you Got was not meant to keep to yourself! Our friends, brothers, and sisters are dying!If you have a substantial amount of clean time then it is not only your duty it's your responsibility to go into the fire and pull people out. Share your story of addiction to freedom! Pray for others more than anything and never take it personally when helping someone and they fall.Don't get angry and give up on them. If you feel like your own recovery is in jeopardy then find someone to take over. If we all work together and never forget where it is we were pulled from then we will win the fight against addiction.
