The secret to my sobriety is that my sobriety is not a secret.
Addiction is shrouded in secrecy, lies and darkness. Separation from God.
Sobriety is staying in the light of the truth.
When we bring our secret into the light, it frees us. We can name our struggle and release it in the light. We can help others stay sober when we share our own story. If we don’t talk about our struggle, how can we move forward? We stay stuck.
We addicts and alcoholics don’t want to be where we are. We just don’t know how to get out of the darkness of the obsession. We are confused that it is not possible to just stop. "Just find a way out on our own—yeah, tried that many times." We are looking for a magic bullet. An easy solution to a monumental problem.
The good news is that there is a way out.
Surrender. Tell on yourself. Stop hiding in the secret of it all.
Surrender to God. Reach out to others. Come out of the darkness and into the light. The light of connection. You are one step away from freedom from addiction. The magic begins when we begin that connection. When we get to the end of ourselves and our own power, we realize the power of that connection. In the surrender, we gain power.
What?
Yes, we gain the power that comes from outside of us. God. When we surrender, the power begins to live inside of us now, when we start that partnership. We take the step into the light and God meets us right there to give us the power we need to walk out of our secret of addiction.
That’s my secret.
Join us today.
Step into the light.

"But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
