Step 1: I am on the Road to Recovery

Day 35.  I'm moving forward on my road to recovery.  This song marks the beginning, I just wish that I felt as upbeat as this song.    I'm broken, and not sure that I'm going to make it very far. I've been in denial for so long. I really thought I could quit any time,but I kept coming back for just one more glass. I'm trying to trust God along this scary journey that lies ahead. This morning I inquired about a Step Study and found out that one began tonight. I trembled as I walked into that room, for I knew no one. But tonight I began my Celebrate Recovery Step Study.

•  Principle 1: Realize I'm not God.  I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong things and that my life is unmanageable.  "Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor." ( Matthew 5:3
• Step 1:   I admit that I am powerless over my addiction and compulsive behavior, that my life had become unmanageable.   I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature.  For I have the desire to what is good. but I cannot carry it out. (Romans 7:18)
