Step 2: We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
Principle 2: 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
…The doctor said: “You have the mind of a chronic alcoholic. I have never seen one single case recover, where that state of mind existed to the extent that it does in you.”Our friend felt as though the gates of hell had closed on him with a clang. He said to the doctor, “Is there no exception?” “Yes,” replied the doctor, “there is. Exceptions to cases such as yours have been occurring since early times. Here and there, once in a while, alcoholics have had what are calledvital spiritual experiences.To me these occurrences are phenomena. They appear to be in the nature of huge emotional displacements and rearrangements. Ideas, emotions, and attitudes which were once the guiding forces of the lives of these men are suddenly cast to one side, and a completely new set of conceptions and motives begin to dominate them. -Alcoholics Anonymous, page 27

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.
