Step two; We came to believe a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity!


No matter how hard we try to deny it, the fruit is plain to everyone but us sometimes.  The longer we abuse what God has given the sooner our home will be inhabitable.



 
Sooner or later we will have to move out if we are not being a good steward of our house!  So also, should we abuse our body for years and years it will not last.  With God there is always HOPE!  With help we can get things back in order and getting back on track will breathe new life in what seemed like a hopeless scenario.  

In 12 Step Recovery, we find help, hope and healing with the comfort of others who are just like us!  With some support we can get this thing trimmed back and some windows replaced and new construction repairs and it will again be filled with warmth and laughter welcoming those who need some restoration too!! 
Nobody would have thought it possible but MIRACLES happen in 12-Step recovery.  
Keep coming back!

God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace;
Taking as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it;
Trusting that you will make all things right,
if I, surrender to your will; 
so that I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with you forever,
in the next.  Amen
Reinhold Niebuhr


Surround thyself with loving, healthy and supportive relationships 
to keep you company during the hardest parts of life!
