October 6 CHP 37 v 5 TWELVE STEPPING WITH STRENGTH FROM THE PSALMS

Commit your way to the Lord ,trust also in Him ,and he shall bring it to pass .(GODS BIG BOOK)

STEP 3 Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

Sobriety through God ,the one true true God creator of heaven and earth will take more than a one time prayer! I know personally from days of addiction and insanity , I made God a promise ! It went something like this ,God I no longer want to live in this hell ,please take me home or give me strength to escape and help me fix this mess . When I discovered his unexplained strength to want to get away and hide from life and my addictions , I made Him a promise that from that day forward I would live for him and His purpose.Surrender and Commitment are the keys to sobriety . You might be able to  white knuckle it on your own but it is only a matter of time and you will succumb to the pressure. Bill knew that and that's why the steps were written that way and the first three are key because they are about surrender and commitment.

John 5-21 "For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes.

October 1 CHP 34 v 18 TWELVE STEPPING WITH STRENGTH FROM THE PSALMS

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

(GODS BIG BOOK)

Step 1: We admitted we were powerless over chemical substances and our lives had become unmanageable.

More people find God at the bottom rather than the top. Let me Explain ! Living life on easy street keeps you focused on self and you are deceived into believing , I don't need God .Through years of my Christian walk and working with others , I have discovered God spends more time in jail and the hood than He does in His churches . He hears the cries and prayers of those who are broken hearted and crushed in Spirit and He wants to comfort , teach , and love you out of your pain.

Mark 2: 17 When Jesus heard this, he told them, "Healthy people don't need a doctor--sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners."
