8 PRINCIPLES

The First Step to Freedom
Realize I'm not God; I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and my life is unmanageable.
“Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor”
Matthew 5:3

Where to Get Help When You Hurt
Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to him, and that he has the power to help me recover.
“Happy are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted” Matthew 5:4

Letting Go
Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ's care and control.
"Happy are the meek” Matthew 5:5

Coming Clean
Openly examine and confess my faults to God, to myself, and to another person whom I trust.
“Happy are the pure in heart” Matthew 5:8

Making Changes
Voluntarily submit to any and all changes God wants to make in my life.
“Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires” Matthew 5:6

Repairing Relationships
Evaluate all my relationships; Offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I've done to others when possible, without expecting any reward.
“Happy are the merciful" "Happy are the peacemakers”
Matthew 5:7,9

Maintaining Momentum
Reserve a daily time with God for prayer, Bible reading, and self-examination in order to know God and his will for my life and to gain the power to follow his will.

Recycling My Pain
Yield myself to be used by God to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and by my words.
“Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires” Matthew 5:10
