Turning It Over

Every man and woman who has joined Celebrate Recovery and intends to stick has, without realizing it, made beginning on Step 3. Isn’t it true that in all matters touching upon addictions, each of them has decided to turn his or her life over to the care, protection, and guidance of their one and only Higher Power, Jesus Christ, and Celebrate Recovery? Any willing newcomer feels sure that Celebrate Recovery is the only safe harbor for the foundering vessel he has become. Now if this is not turning one’s will in life over to a newfound Providence, then what is it?

Submission to God was the 1st step to my recovery. I believe our fellowship seeks a spiritual openness to a new relationship with God. As I exert myself to following the path of the steps, I sense a freedom that gives me the ability to think for myself. My addiction confined me without any release and hindered my ability to be released from my self – confinement, but Celebrate Recovery assures me of a way to go forward. Mutual sharing, concern and caring for others is our natural gift to each other and mine is strengthened as my attitude towards God changes. I learn to submit to God’s will with in all my life, to have self-respect, and to keep both of these attitudes by giving away what I receive.
