January 24, 2019 Through The Twelve Steps With Spiritual Support From Scripture TODAY STEP 6

January 24, 2019 Through The Twelve Steps With Spiritual Support From Scripture TODAY STEP 6

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


Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. James 4:10




Discouragement can be very destructive to your recovery. It can paralyze you leaving you unable to move forward. It eats away at you like a cancer and if not dealt with can put you in relapse mode. Words at times cannot express just how it makes you feel.God is the only one who can liberate you from the emotional bars of your mind. Unfortunately it will be a character defect that will visit often but you can never give up and let it crush you to the point of self medicating. As soon as it is recognized ,hit your knees and pray to God to lift you up.



Isaiah 42:16 And I will lead the blind in a way that they do not know, in paths that they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground. These are the things I do, and I do not forsake them.

I Knew I Was an Alcoholic Long Before I Quit Drinking…. By Nicola Lee, Monday, January 21, 2019 10:49 AM I knew I was an alcoholic long before I finally put the alcohol down.  I knew this because I became emotionally dependent and would use a drink to satisfy everything.  Coming home from work I would slam the bottle of wine on the counter and tell myself that I deserved a drink.  Whether I had […] The post I Knew I Was an Alcoholic Long Before I Quit Drinking…. appeared first on Sanford House.

Encouraging Teens to Better Communicate

Encouraging Kids to Communicate: An Excerpt from the New Book HIGH by David and Nic Sheff Below is an excerpt from the new book HIGH: Everything You Want to Know About Drugs, Alcohol, and Addiction by David and Nic Sheff, a father and son team who are experts on substance use and addiction because they've lived through it. The book is intended for kids. In David's and Nic's own words: The book isn't full of cut and dried answers, because there are none. This book isn't going to tell you what to do, because no one else is in your shoes. This book isn't going to tell you to "just say no." This book wants you to "just say know." David and Nic wrote this book for teens and young adults, ensuring that they were treating them with the respect and honesty they deserve. But parents can learn a lot from teen-oriented drug education, too (like NIDA's National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week) and keep this book on hand to help open up useful conversations with their kids. Finding Help, Helping Each Other As we’ve said, kids need help with whatever they’re dealing with: bullying, gang violence, questions of sexual orientation and health, self-harm, gender and cultural identity, stress, poverty, violence at home, and much more. When parents can’t help, some schools have programs in place to help with some of these issues. At the least, many have counselors. One way some schools help students is with peer-counseling programs. It can be easier for some kids to talk with one another than to adults about certain things in their lives. “Adults are always trying to solve our problems,” said Teri, a high school sophomore. “We need someone to listen. And there’s a bond when we see each other during school. Someone who knows you and appreciates you.” With the permission of everyone in the group, we visited a peer-counseling session at a school in California. It was remarkable—it made us wish we had peer counseling when we were in high school Keep Reading
