COMMENT OF THE WEEK Doesn't Count This week, Elizabeth Brico shared why she doesn't count her days drug-free. While most readers agreed that holding every person in recovery to a perfect clean streak isn't the best way to go, some saw value in keeping themselves accountable. I find it is common for people that frequently relapse, to not want to "have a sobriety date." These "blips and slips" are relapses in the recovery process. When you understand that addiction is a thinking disease, you will then begin to see the mental and emotional relapsing that takes place long before you physically pick up. Uninterrupted sobriety in recovery. Relapse does NOT have to be a apart of your journey. If you are allowing yourself to "blip" and "slip" and continue on without any work at all, without going back and starting new..working hard on sobriety, do you ever feel confident that you will live a life truly free from the chains of addiction? To thine own self be true. -Amy Sheridan MORE>>

11-7-17 TWELVE STEPPING WITH SUPPORT FROM SCRIPTURE

Proverb 3 v 6 -Seek His will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.

Step 3: Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God.

God wants a relationship with you His creation. More than prayer it takes heartfelt conversation every moment of every day.As your relationship grows so will your knowledge, love, peace, and joy. God knows your past and He can also see into the future! He can and will help you find and choose the right path for your life. 

Romans 8v28 -And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
