Volunteering saves and transforms lives. Those of us in recovery who actively decide to give back are more than survivors: we are champions of our own recovery and we are given extraordinary opportunities to champion the cause of those battling addiction.

February 14 CHAP 66 v 18 TWELVE STEPPING WITH STRENGTH FROM THE PSALM
I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear .
(GODS BIG BOOK )
Regard- consider or think of (someone or something) in a specified way.
Iniquity - the quality of being unfair or evil.
Step 1 -We admitted we were powerless over our addiction that our lives had become unmanageable.
How you regard GOD is gonna determine how long its gonna take you to get sober. The Psalm verse backs me up on this one . GOD will not hear your prayer if you have wickedness in your heart. Sincerity and truth with GOD and yourself will get HIS attention . Addiction is wicked and it has consumed our lives and has taken control. We are no longer who we once were . Living is now has become down right evil and robotic. In the height of my addiction , I was no longer living the life I worked for. Everyday my addictions told me when to wake up , where to go ,what to steal , what to eat ,and on and on and on! I was so wrapped in myself and selfishness that GOD my father and creator became as distant as the planet Mars. My evil and unfair living was pushing HIM further and further away . GOD will even let you die in that state if that is what you choose. GOD will never force you to do anything HE wants you to do and aren't most loving fathers that way ,but don't expect GOD too answer your prayers if all you care about is yourself and your addictions. Step one starts when me , myself , and I come too the end of SELF.
James 3:14-16 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth. This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing.(GODS BIG BOOK) By Joseph Dickerson

2015 SBIRT Webinar Series Announced
Did you know that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) includes substance use disorders as one of the ten elements of essential health benefits? This means that all health insurance sold on Health Insurance Exchanges or provided by Medicaid to certain newly eligible adults must include services for substance use disorders. It is assumed that some of these new patients may need intervention and treatment services for substance use disorders
To fill this service need, training about how to detect substance use disorders is imperative. As a part of this effort, NAADAC, the Association for Addiction Professionals, has partnered with National SBIRT ATTC,NORC at the University of Chicago, The BIG Initiative, and SAMHSA to deliver a FREE 8-part webinar series called the 2015 SBIRT Webinar Series.

You may know me because I have written a book called Recovery 2.0 and I host a show on InTheRooms.com everyTuesday at 7pm.
You are an In The Rooms member and I am writing you today in the hopes of getting you to exercise some of your power.
Tomorrow the 4th Recovery 2.0 #MoveBeyond Addiction Online Conference begins.
I would like you to sign up for it.
It is completely F.REE.
I produce this online conference to get great information and inspiration to anyone whose life has been touched by the dis-ease of addiction. I literally produced this event with you in mind. Literally.
There are 330,000 of us in this community. Can you imagine if all of us signed up for this conference?
What would that mean? The next day, I would be releasing a national press release speaking about the power of unity in the recovery community.
You see, to many of the policymakers in this country, you have been a criminal and should be punished. Don’t believe me? The emphasis in our country when it comes to addiction is on punishment and imprisonment. We have the largest prison population of the world, the great number of these people are non-violent drug offenders.
When our society fully embraces treatment as THE option for non-violent drug offenders, we will be in a much better place and can actually call ourselves a more merciful, compassionate society.
So, on the one hand, I’m asking you to join our online conference and watch videos over the course of the next week that are filled with great information that I believe you are going to love and be moved by.
On the other hand, I’m asking you to step up as a member of a community of people who, once united, will be able to help shift policy in this country so that addicts everywhere have a chance to recover and live an extraordinary life.
It only takes a minute and please share on your Facebook page and in twitter feeds that you have joined the #MoveBeyond movement by signing up for the Recovery 2.0 Conference.
Sending My Love and Gratitude,
Tommy Rosen
PS - Sign up for The Recovery 2.0 Online Conference for free today. It starts tomorrow.
