8 Celebrate Recovery Principles

Realize I am not God. I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and that my life is unmanageable. “Happy are those who know they are
spiritually poor.” Matthew 5:3
Principle 2
Earnestly believe that God exists, That I matter to Him, and that He as the power to help me recover. “Happy are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” Matthew 5:4

Principle 6
Evaluate all my relationships; offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I’ve don't to others when possible, without expecting any reward. “Happy are the merciful.” Matthew 5:7 “Happy are the peacemakers.” Matthew 5:9
Principles 7 & 8
Reserve a daily time with God for prayer, Bible reading, and self-examination in order to know God and His will for my life and to gain the power to follow His will.
