Where ever I go there I am. God woke me up this morning and with that, I don't need anyone  elses permission to live. I exist, I live, I am, all at the mercy and permission of the God of my understanding. With my recovery I give freely my story of  good, bad and otherwise. I am a combination of my successes and failures. I am Gods handiwork. I am a work in process. My life is the sum total of my break throughs and break downs. With the mercy and permission of the God of my understanding I go on. Life is the reward for making the next right decision. With correct decisions I get to live again and make more decisions.  My recovery has afforded me the life which I could not even imagine. God rewards those whom he wants. The more I give the more I want to give and the more God provides me to give. God is my life provider and I am forever grateful for his unbridled love. A love that has rewarded me with another chance at life. A new opportunity to just do better. Listen as Trent reveal how his recovery is him.

Step 1 of the 12 steps instructs us to admit we are powerless over the disease of addiction. This step is mandatory in order to recover. One must admit and thus submit to the power greater than us. God does not force his will on anyone. He must be invited in. We must willingly submit to his will. Only by this submission can we recieve the power from a all powerfull God. A God who can make a way out of no way. The power we recieve from God is without limit and can over come any obstacle. From submission of powerlessness we can emerge with the infinent power that comes from an almighty God. Listen as Trent explanis how he went from powerlessness to powerful with the help of a power greater than himself.

My life is a lesson of what to and what not to do. I am a imperfect man. Ladened with faults and failures. In recovery I have learned to accept all my failings and imperfections. It is my belief that the God of my understanding forgives unconditionally. He grants us life as a display of his immense mercy and unconditional compassion. His love for me is demostrated in his permitting my life each new day. My gratitude is demostrated by what I do with my life. The more I give the more God gives me to give. God';s love is unconditional and the love we show others should also be without condition or expectation of a return. In order to love someone else we must first love ourselves. I believe , I must love myself so that I can love someone other than myself. Listen as Trent relates its his accepting of his imperfections that keeps him sober each new day.
