The Problem

If, when you honestly want to, you find you cannot quit drinking or drugs or even using entirely, or if you have little control over the amount you consume, you are probably an alcoholic or drug addict. If that is the case, you may be suffering from a problem that only a spiritual solution will conquer. Most chemically dependent persons are unable or unwilling to admit to themselves or to others that they are addicted. Yet, both you and your loved ones suffer as a result of your addiction.

Chemical addiction can happen regardless of a person's reputation, social standing, or religious beliefs. Most of us turned to chemicals for the purpose of numbing the pain in our lives. Others of us may have given into curiosity or were pressured socially, yet still became addicted despite our best efforts to stop. In the end, the chemicals we turned to for a solution actually became part of the problem.

 

The Solution

By working through the 12 Steps with Jesus Christ as your Higher Power, you can and will change! You will begin to experience the true peace and serenity you have been seeking. You will be able to get sober and stay sober. You will not longer have to rely on your dysfunctional, compulsive, and addictive behaviors as a temporary "fix" for your pain.

Just like becoming addicted, recovery is a process. Be patient and keep coming back. It works if you work it! As our Higher Power. Law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God--through Jesus Christ our Lord!

So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin." (NIV)
