Center on Addiction and Partnership for Drug-Free Kids Logo
As you may have heard, we have some exciting news to share: Partnership for Drug-Free Kids and the Center on Addiction have merged. 

At the Center on Addiction, we want to ensure that no family loses a child to substance use or addiction. Together, we are creating a movement to demand resources for families, fix the treatment system, make treatment affordable and eliminate the stigma. 

We are going to have a much louder voice in the advocacy space in order to have a positive impact on the millions of families that are affected by addiction. 

But, we can’t do it alone. Your voice can make a difference. Here is what we are working to change and how you can join the movement.

January 18 , 2019 Through the Twelve Steps With Spiritual Truth from Scripture Today STEP 5

January 18 , 2019 Through the Twelve Steps With Spiritual Truth from Scripture Today STEP 5 


Step 5: Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.


Psalm 66:18  The Lord will not hear me if I hold on to sin in my heart.




Change will not come if you are not honest with God and yourself. When your ready to be brutally honest about yourself and mistakes God will take you seriously and give you freedom healing and Wholeness. God does not just give you recovery he brings restoration ! So you don't have to walk around labeling yourself an addict. We go from recovering to restored which means old things will pass away and you will become a new creation. Holding on to shame, guilt , regrets, hate ,and anger will hinder and stop you from maturing into that new creation. God has a plan for your life but you keep getting in the way ! God will never force you to get with His program and many die prematurely hard headed and full of hate and pride ,missing out on how wonderful life can be.

Sober and Sleepless: 13 Tips to Help You Get Some Sleep in Early Recovery | The Fix: Most of us experience sleep problems in early recovery, leaving us cranky, unable to function effectively, irritable, and reaching for coffee and sugary foods for a quick boost.
