Steps to Sanity (meets year round)
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to provide support for those seeking freedom from self-destructive lifestyles. We provide a safe place to learn of deliverance and God’s healing power in weekly meetings run by those who are in recovery from the same self-destructive tendencies. We seek to provide ongoing support and growth opportunities for those who are recovering, ensuring continued growth toward integrity in all areas of life.
Who we are:
Those of us who are involved in this program have struggled with issues such as drug addiction, alcoholism, pornography, gambling, uncontrollable anger/fear, depression, and eating disorders. We had tried to change our ways and did better for a while, then we went back to our old ways, if not worse. Cleaning up one area just led to new trouble somewhere else in our lives. We could not change on our own. By recognizing our powerlessness over our tendencies and turning our lives and wills over to God, we were able to begin a lasting process of recovery. Meeting weekly, we make the effort to support each other as we recover from addictive and codependent lifestyles.
Steps
The Steps to Sanity program is a simple “12 Step” program of recovery. We recognize that lifestyle changes require a process (steps) and generally do not occur instantaneously. By utilizing steps that have worked for thousands of people over the years, we see results that go beyond freedom from alcoholism or drug addiction. These steps start with acknowledging that we have a problem too big for ourselves – problems that we have not been able to control or fix. They go on to point out that only a power greater than ourselves can deliver us, and that God could and would if He were sought. The program goes on to focus on living life in communion with God. These steps move us to integrity in all areas of our lives and result in spiritual growth. This growth creates peace, serenity, joy, and most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with God and others.
