MARCH 19 v 11 TWELVE STEPPING WITH POWER IN THE PROVERB

Sensible people control their temper;
they earn respect by overlooking wrongs.

STEP 4 - Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

Someone told me along time ago that anger undealt with becomes resentment and in return we become bitter . When working step four get ready to stir up some pretty heavy stuff. The tough part is we take stuff sweep it under a rug but that does not mean its not there . You are gonna have to dig deep on this one and be brutally honest with yourself and your sponsor. If we don't learn how to deal with and properly dispose of anger then we and everybody around us will suffer . Have you ever been around someone who is bitter they hate everything and everybody .They are the Kings and Queens of cynicism and self pity .They can and will suck the joy and life out of you . They are the people you cant stand being with .Are you one of those bitter joy killers ,if you are follow the Proverb and the step. Not everyone in your life has to be punished because of your undealt with resentments and anger. Show mercy and start controlling your anger and turn the other cheek.

^{JAMES CHP 1 v 19 v20} Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires.

Getting to Rehab

 

Leah Kirstein

RIDGWAY, ELK COUNTY PA - Drugs are something police everywhere have to deal with almost everyday.

"When I first moved here, there wasn't any. We didn't have that. I raised my kids here and it's gotten worse since then" said Ridgway resident Ketta Melzer.

"There is a real problem in this county of drug and alcohol use and abuse" added Salvation Army Lt. Esther Wilson.

She says the Ridway Salvation Army is now offering transportation to those seeking rehabilitation at one of their facilities throughout the country. The Salvation Army has over 150 and serves tens thousands of people each year.

" It is a 6 month program. It is in house. You get your rooming, your board and everything provided for you and it's no cost" she said.

The Salvation Army says since the transportation program began about a month ago they've already had someone, who was near overdosing, go to rehab.

"I believe in it. Threes a lot of good success cases that come out of it" said Wilson.

To get information on the program you can call (814)772-0485. They will give you the numbers you need to call to see if their is space for you at a center and then, they will help you get there and get clean.

MARCH 18 v18 TWELVE STEPPING WITH POWER IN THE PROVERB

Flipping a coin can end arguments;
it settles disputes between powerful opponents



STEP 3 - We made a decision to turn our wills and our lives over to the care of God.

Stop fighting with everybody including yourself. The Proverb mentions flipping a coin it settles disputes between powerful opponents and all I can think about is every single sport s game in the world . it goes too show you that Gods big book is a must for life and it contains all the answers you need for now and after your dead . Still trying to control the world and everybody else s well there's way too much stress for that , start focusing on you and NO you don't know everything ! That,s ok though that's why its called recovery , if want our lives back we have to let the old life go .When we do God will help up build a new one !

MARCH 17 v 1 TWELVE STEPPING WITH POWER IN THE PROVERB

Better a dry crust eaten in peace

than a house filled with feasting—and conflict.

STEP 9 - Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

Better to live in a house with nothing and have peace ! Conflict is a number one trigger for a lot of folks . When all hell is breaking lose at home sometimes its a good idea to step out of the situation call your sponsor or hit your knees until the craziness start to settle down . Once the smoke settles get rid of the source of conflict by committing step nine . Remember when we were out there doing our thing we caused a lot of heartache to the ones we live with . That heartache has destroyed our credibility and our loved ones who are victims of our insanity will have a lot of resentment and bitterness towards us . We have to earn there respect and trust and that is not going to happen overnight . They will need the most time to heal so be patient with them and try and see it from their point of view don't push and get angry like the old days. Love them unconditionally like they did for you even though your every other word was lie and you cannot count on your hands how many times you robbed them .

Matthew chapter 10 v 38 - Those who do not take up their cross and follow in my STEPS are not fit to be my disciples .
