Step 2:  Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

 

I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies. - Psalm 18:3



Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. - Matthew 11:28

 

 

  1. Champ tells of when he finally knew he had a problem with his drinking.  When did you finally know you had a real problem with your hurt/habit/hang-up (addiction/affliction)?  How long after that until you sought recovery?  Tell about it.
  2. Champ's relationship with his spouse, parents, and children went up and down according to his addiction.  How were your relationships affected by your obsessive and compulsive behaviors?  
  3. Now that you are pursuing recovery, can you see how God is trying to mend your relational life?  Sometimes this does not look like we think it should, and we must trust in God's goodness and grace even when we can't understand his ways.  Talk about this.
  4. Step Two promises that we can be restored to sanity by God.  In what areas have you been restored to sanity?  In what areas are you still waiting for restoration?

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.

Summary

 

Step 2:  Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

 

I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies. - Psalm 18:3



Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. - Matthew 11:28

 

 

  1. Champ tells of when he finally knew he had a problem with his drinking.  When did you finally know you had a real problem with your hurt/habit/hang-up (addiction/affliction)?  How long after that until you sought recovery?  Tell about it.
  2. Champ's relationship with his spouse, parents, and children went up and down according to his addiction.  How were your relationships affected by your obsessive and compulsive behaviors?  
  3. Now that you are pursuing recovery, can you see how God is trying to mend your relational life?  Sometimes this does not look like we think it should, and we must trust in God's goodness and grace even when we can't understand his ways.  Talk about this.
  4. Step Two promises that we can be restored to sanity by God.  In what areas have you been restored to sanity?  In what areas are you still waiting for restoration?
