Go back to Why Christ Centered?
In my addicted life, I was truly being held in captivity by my own desires and poor decisions. But here in the Bible God has sent to this earth, His Son Jesus Christ to set us free from these bondages. With Jesus Christ at the center of our recovery, there is no way we can fail IF we take steps to turn away from a life of addiction and turn our lives over to 
the one true living God.
I know this can be a big decision to make right now but allow me to share an actual event in history. There was a king in ancient Egypt that held the whole nation of Israel captive. God sent His spokesman Moses to tell the king to let the nation of Israel leave Egypt. After a series of calamities the king said “no way!” Then a swarm of frogs overcame the land of Egypt. The Bible says that there were frogs everywhere. They were in everything including the kings underwear drawer. Finally the king sent for Moses and said, “OK I give up, please make the frogs go away”. So Moses said, “when would you like them to be removed” at which the king answered, “tomorrow!”. In other words the king was willing to put up with frogs in his underwear for one more day. Wouldn’t you want them gone right now if the power was available at this moment?” Consider these verses in the Bible:
- In 2 Samuel 22:31: As for my God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to ALL who trust in Him.
- Psalm 91:14-16 (from the ‘Message’ translation): If you'll hold on to me for dear life," says GOD,"I'll get you out of any trouble. I'll give you the best of care if you'll only get to know and trust me. Call me and I'll answer, be at your side in bad times; I'll rescue you, then throw you a party. I'll give you a long life, give you a long drink of salvation!
- And John 3:16 says: God loved the world (and all the people in it), so much that He gave/sent His only Son Jesus so that everyone who would believe in Him would not perish (as those who do not believe in Him), but have everlasting life.
- John 10:10; The thief (refers to satan/the devil, yep he’s real!), comes only to steal, kill and destroy, but I (Jesus), have come that you may have an abundant life overflowing with God’s very best.
- John 14:6: Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
To summarize it let me add that God desires our commitment to Him and that there is only one way to Him, to get all of His very best for our lives, and that is through His Son, Jesus Christ. We invite you to check out the whole site and see if you don’t see yourself within these pages.

This site is being designed and updated to literally bring you through this recovery process without attending a meeting. The end result will change your life and your view of the world as you realize that God was always there for you and will be there to bring you through every situation you encounter.
