Mental Health Awareness Month - "Celebrate Recovery"
"Principle One - Denial"
Today, we begin a journey together, a journey down the road of recovery. This journey begins with Principle 1, where we admit that we are powerless to control our tendency to do the wrong thing and that our lives have become unmanageable, out of control. But before we begin this exciting journey together, we need to ask ourselves three questions:
- Am I going to let my past failures prevent me from taking this journey?
- Am I afraid to change?
- What are my fears of the future?
"Principle Two - Hope"
It’s in the second principle that we come to believe God exists, that we are important to Him, and that we are able to find the one true Higher Power, Jesus Christ! We come to understand that God wants to fill our lives with His love, His joy, and His presence.
