Recovery Today: Step 2

Recovered Today: Step 2 – Embracing Hope and Sanity

If Step 1 was admitting we stood broken, powerless in the storm of our addictions and hurts, then Step 2 is our beacon of hope, lighting the way to solid ground:

We came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

Today, you are standing on the edge of restoration, and this is the pivotal moment—where hope gently whispers louder than despair ever screamed. You've recognized that the control you fought so hard to maintain was actually an illusion. Now, it's time to trust a strength beyond yourself to begin putting the pieces back together.

Step 2 is beautifully humbling because it asks us to let go of the reins and acknowledge our limitations. It's also deeply encouraging, promising us we don't have to bear this journey alone. In fact, we can't. Only by surrendering to a higher power—God, who is lovingly attentive to our brokenness—can real, lasting healing begin.

Think of this step like a sunrise after a long night. Just as you can't force the sun to rise, you don't have to earn or engineer your restoration. You simply have to believe it is possible and step into its warmth.

Sanity isn't about perfection; it's about clarity and peace in a world we no longer try to control. It's about freedom found in acknowledging our need for help, and courage in trusting the One capable of providing it.

Today, choose hope. Today, welcome restoration. Today, trust in the gentle strength that is bigger than your brokenness.

You’re not alone—never alone. And your journey from insanity to sanity, from despair to hope, is already underway.

Keep stepping forward. Your healing is here.
