When we are in early recovery, the idea of a life of peace and joy seems very far away. The good news is that we can get there! But first we must extricate ourselves from the disarray of an undirected life. We can then learn to trust a higher power, thus opening the door to sanity and hope. Join Rev. Dan and Rev. Michelle as they share their experience, strength, and hope on moving from disarray to genuine peace and joy through coming to believe in a higher power.

Did you ever feel like life would be so much better if you could just have a do-over? Well, you can do just that! In fact you can start over anytime you decide.

Michelle as they share their experience, strength, and hope on energizing your life with a fresh start.

Many of us enter addiction recovery with an excess of energy, not always knowing what to do with it. We can exhaust ourselves overcommitting, trying to make up for lost time, or just generally running ourselves ragged. This has been called “frantic sobriety.” Join Rev. Dan and Rev. Michelle as they share their experience, strength, and hope on using our recovery energy to create a life of purpose, right here and right now, one day at a time.

For many of us in addiction recovery, life can seem hopeless, especially in the beginning. After all, we chose to deal with our life difficulties with a behavior or substance meant to numb the pain. Take that away and life can certainly feel hopeless. But we hold a vision of hope, and we find a wonderful new life on the other side of addiction—one that we would not trade for anything. Join Rev. Dan and Rev. Michelle as they share their experience, strength, and hope on holding a vision for hope and finding our way through the tough times.

Michelle as they share their experience, strength, and hope on moving from a dull existence to the life you want to live through the spiritual power of imagination.

“If you want what we have, you have to do what we did.” 12-step addiction recovery is a program of action based on spiritual principles. The ideas are nice, and anyone can read the steps and see that perhaps they make sense, but nothing happens if we don’t take action. Join Rev. Dan and Rev. Michelle as they share their experience, strength, and hope on putting spiritual principles to work through a program of action and the amazing changes that take place as a result.

For some of us new to recovery, the whole “God thing” can be a real barrier. We may be carrying old ideas of God that don’t make sense to us. We may not realize that we don’t need to accept someone else’s understanding of God; we can find our own. In fact, we don’t even have to use the word “God” if we don't want to! Join Rev. Dan and Rev. Michelle as they share their experience, strength, and hope on making peace with the whole “God thing” on our own terms.

Many of us in addiction recovery are all too familiar with the feeling of fear. Fear of the future, fear of change, fear of pain—you can probably add to the list. The good news is that in recovery, we can learn to manage and transform our fear, moving instead into a life rooted in faith. Join Rev. Dan and Rev. Michelle as they share their experience, strength, and hope on moving from fear to faith using the power of release.
