THE ROAD TO RECOVERY
Eight Recovery Principles
based on the
BEATITUDES
by Pastor Rick
Warren

Principle 1

Realize I'm not God; I admit that I am
powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing
and my life is unmanageable.
"Happy are those
who know they are spiritually poor" |

Earnestly believe that God exists, that I
matter to him, and that he has the power to help me
recover.
"Happy are those
who mourn, for they shall be comforted"

Consciously choose to commit all my life and
will to Christ's care and control.

meek" |

myself, and to myself, to God, and to someone I trust.
"Happy are the pure
in heart" |

Voluntarily submit to every change God wants to
make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my
character defects.
"Happy are those
whose greatest desire is to do what God requires"

| E= |
Principle 6

Evaluate all my relationships; Offer
forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends
for harm I've done to others except when to do so would
harm them or others.
"Happy are the
merciful" "Happy are the peacemakers" |
| R= |

examination, Bible readings and prayer in order to know
God and His will for my life and to gain the power to
follow His will. |

Yield myself to God to be used to bring this
Good News to others, both by my example and by my
words.
