One Celebrate Recovery Miracle

Save for a few brief moments of temptation, the thought of returning to my addiction has never returned; and at such times a great revulsion has risen up in me. Seemingly I could not return to my addiction even if I would. God has restored my sanity.

The word “God” was frightening to me when I 1st saw it associated with Celebrate Recovery’s 12 steps. Having tried all means I could to stop my addiction, I found that it was not possible for me to sustain that desire over a period of time. Yet, how could I believe in “God” that had allowed me to sink to the deep despair that engulfed me – whether drinking or dry?

The answer was in finally admitting that it might be possible for me to know the mercy of a Power greater than myself who can grant me sobriety contingent on my willingness to “come to believe”. I finally admitting that I was one among many, and by following the example of my sponsor and other Celebrate Recovery members in practicing faith I did not have, my life has been given meaning, direction and purpose.
