Heal Alcoholism with Spirituality


Take baby steps out of the darkness of despair, anger, resentment, guilt and/or shame.

Anger                     
Assumptions & feelings: Upset, injustice, unfairness, hurts, wounded
Blame                     
Blaming others gives away your control over your own emotions.
Conviction             
Realize your own behavior in the situation.  It’s a package deal.
Confess                  
Get honest. Pray. Tell only God. Gain awareness. Get more honest.
Repent                    
U turn. Turn and go in the opposite direction. This is sins vs. virtues.
Forgiven                
If you are still breathing and alive, then God has forgiven you.
Forgive                   
Forgive others, as God as forgiven you. Pray daily.
Faith                       
Faith is key.  Trust God.  In God we trust. Go to church maybe?
Accepted                
You are accepted, like an abandoned newborn being adopted.
Loved                     
Nobody loves me. God is nobody. God (nobody) loves you and me.
Rejoice                   
Treat yourself well. Rein in that work. Be kind to others. Enjoy life.
Renewal                  
Recovery, vitality, born again like a tulip coming back in the Spring.

Take baby steps into the sunshine of the outdoors, life, joy, hope and loved ones.
Shed those ANTS (Automatic Negative Thoughts), assumptions, false beliefs.
Daily prayer is taking a few of the 12 steps over and over again.
Prayer is ultimate healing.
