Step One:  We admitted we were powerless over our addictions and afflictions and that our lives had become unmanageable.

And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I cannot carry it out.  Romans 7:18

Small Group Discussion Starters:

1. Sponsorship is important for recovery to take root.  Do you have a sponsor that walks you through the 12 steps?  If so, talk about your growth through having a sponsor.  If you do not have a sponsor, when will you get one?

2.  Attendance at recovery meetings is crucial for recovery to become a habit.  Is recovery a habit in your life?  Tell how the habit of recovery meetings helps you.

3.  Many times we have more than one issue that we need to address in recovery.  The process of recovery from one thing will uncover many others.  Talk about your willingness to address the other issues that you are powerless over.

What is Choose Recovery? We are a group of people who freely admit that we struggle with addictions, afflictions, and compulsive behaviors, who gather together to choose recovery through a growing trust in Jesus who guides us to freedom by following a simple recovery path. No matter where you have been or what you have done, you are welcome here. Together we can find new purpose and joy as we choose recovery.
