GHOD NATIONAL SUMMER ASSIGNMENT 2021

TELL YOUR HEART THAT THE FEAR OF SUFFERING IS WORSE THAN THE SUFFERING ITSELF.

Recovery presents us with the opportunity to face Life on Life’s terms everyday of our lives, but since the disease of Addiction makes us prone to certain symptoms that often go unrecognized, it can be difficult to respond appropriately. That’s why sponsorship is so important, when we find ourselves in those difficult moments and the disease has us in its grip with no drugs in sight. This exercise is designed to help see those times thru a different lens.

Circumstances - Life on Life’s Terms

A fact or condition connected with or relevant to an event or action.

Acceptance is the key to recovery ,in our prayer ask God for the serenity to do just that but get off our knees and on our feet like it hasn’t been given, what was the purpose of the prayer, if we don’t believe God is real and heard us ask?

Choice Practicing Principle

An act of selecting or modify a decision when faced with two or more possibilities.

Consequences Struggle – Surrender - Serenity
