“The Power of  Recovery”

2/11/04

     For the addict, staying sober and remaining faithful to God go hand in hand.  Most important to sobriety is a strong relationship with God.  Chemical Recovery is a spiritual aftercare program to help prevent relapse.  There are common guidelines that can help people early in recovery build a great relationship  with God and ensure their continued sobriety.

     As Chemical Recovery participants, we have been rescued from a life of drug and  alcohol addiction through the power of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross.  We are remaining sober not through worldly, self-help methods, but because of the  faith, hope, love, and intense discipling we experience in the group.  Through  God’s grace, we continue to grow spiritually while emotionally maturing.  With  understanding, persistence, and patience, members of the Chemical Recovery  ministry help each other stay sober and deal with addiction related temptations  and issues.  We have a lot of fun and are quite candid with one another in our  openness.  We also meet to ensure consistent fellowship and Godly  accountability.  Please pray that God will continue to strengthen this ministry as we strive to be faithful to God, and minister to those who are struggling to overcome addiction.
