You don't have to fix everything today…
Tired of saying "this is the last time" every time? Feel like you're going in circles? And don't know where to start?
You are not alone, and addiction is not your whole story. Recovery begins with one small step, and you are not asked to face everything by yourself.
إرميا ٢٩ : ٥، ١١
اِبْنُوا بُيُوتًا وَٱسْكُنُوا، وَٱغْرِسُوا جَنَّاتٍ وَكُلُوا ثَمَرَهَا... لِأَنِّي عَرَفْتُ ٱلْأَفْكَارَ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا مُفْتَكِرٌ بِهَا عَنْكُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَفْكَارَ سَلَامٍ لَا شَرٍّ، لِأُعْطِيَكُمْ آخِرَةً وَرَجَاءً.

Explore the journeyAdam Restoration isn't words to read and forget. Carry it with you through your day, and let each reflection help you take a real step.
Start with today's reflection and read it slowly. You don't need to finish a lot… just take one idea with you and live it through your day.
Read the reflections with friends, in a recovery group or a church group, and share what touched you or what you are facing. Sometimes talking with a safe person makes all the difference.
The reflections can help you open a topic or an idea you need to talk about with a counselor or someone who is helping you on the road to recovery.
Grab a notebook and write. An idea that touched you, a question that came to mind, something you discovered about yourself, or a step you want to take. Writing often makes what is inside clearer.
You are not asked to change your whole life at once. Read… think… pray… and take your next step. Day after day, with God, the journey takes on a new shape.
