 A Reminder
From Pastor Sam
Perhaps the greatest challenge, we, as recovering addicts face on a day to day basis is how to maintain our victory over our addiction.
Many answers come to mind immediately but we must be wise enough to realize
that every answer is not the correct solution for everyone. Another way
to express this truth is to accept the fact that even though we might
be recovering from the same drug of choice, each of us must choose the
solutions best suited for us as an individual. Even greater is the fact
that I must resolve myself to the fact that whatever it takes to
maintain my sobriety, I must utilize those aids for the rest of my life.

Trust and depend on the "Higher Power" to keep us sober
|
If we choose to relinquish the use of those tools, we will soon find
ourselves headed back to Losers Boulevard and the sad thing is this street
in nothing more than one filled with defeat and failure.
No one really
wants to go back there again!
This alone is reason enough to keep
practicing those things that helped to get us clean.
Now, there is one solution that works for every addict around the world
and as a minister of the Gospel it is my duty to remind each and
everyone of us that we should always trust and depend on the "Higher Power"
to keep us sober every day of our lives.
He is more than willing to
keep us than we are willing to ask Him, and believe me, He is able to help
us through any crisis or temptation.
Phillipians 4:13 best expresses
this truth - "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me".
Love Ya!
Pastor Sam
