Christian recovery is beautiful. It will help you overcome addiction and in doing so it will bring you closer to Christ; and you can't ask for much more than that!
In Christian rehab, residents overcoming addiction will practice the Christian 12 steps to sobriety, and through an honest and thorough working of the steps, you can't help but relearn humility and rediscover the power of God's grace.
God's Grace
We can't beat addiction on our own, and if we're honest with ourselves, our actions leading up to rehab make this pretty clear. But it doesn't matter! In Christian rehab, a fundamental tenet of recovery is that you don't have the strength on your own, but God does, and He will help you.
The first 2 steps of the Christian 12 have you accept that you are powerless to control your addiction, and accept that although you can't beat it, that God can. Let go and let God.
Let Go and Let God
Believe in Christ, believe that He will show you the path you must walk, and believe that He will give you the strength and wisdom that you need. Once you believe this you open your heart to God's grace and you truly begin your process of recovery.
A lot of us put off a necessary period of treatment, thinking that we don't have the strength, that we can't beat this thing. It's this kind of erroneous thinking that got us into trouble in the first place and that blocks God's grace from our hearts. You don't have the strength, that's the whole point! God does though, God's strength is infinite, and through His grace we can do the impossible.
Be Free From Worry!
It's an incredible sensation to let go of your worry, to accept in the power of the Lord, and to truly believe that He is going to get us out of this hole we've dug. He will too. It doesn't mean that we don't have to work at it, and it doesn't mean that our recovery is going to be easy, but it does make it possible.
In Christian Rehab you will learn humility, you will take a fearless moral inventory and in doing so you can't help but realize your deficiencies, and realize how far from the perfection of Christ you walk. You will also learn the power of prayer and that the answers to our troubles all lie within the word of the Scriptures.
Working the 12 steps is a great way to beat addiction, and it's also a great way to bring the Lord back into our hearts and lives.
If you're looking to get better, if you believe in Christ, consider Christian recovery.
