You will never find recovery apart from your Higher Power.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote, “At this moment of lust God loses all reality. Satan does not fill us with hatred of God, but with forgetfulness of God.”
Many of us have become what Craig Groeschel calls a “Christian atheist.” We believe in God, but when it comes to our daily lives, we walk away from our morning devotions as if God did not exist.
I encourage you to work the 12 Steps. Check out my 90-Day Recovery Program. Get in one of my Freedom Groups. Do a clinical disclosure. Sponsor a new person in recovery. Do the work that is required in order to get well.
But along the way, don’t forget about God.
Recovery Step: Take a moment to reconnect with God – right now.
Author: Mark Denison
Mark and Beth Denison, married for 36 years, launched There’s Still Hope as a national movement to call men and women into lives of sexual integrity. Their ministry offers 90-day recovery plans for addicts and one-on-one and group coaching for addicts and their spouses. TSH also produces resources for pastors and churches to confront the porn epidemic that is destroying so many lives.
Dr. Denison was a senior pastor for over 30 years, NBA chaplain, and board chairman at Houston Baptist University three times. With a Master’s Degree in Addiction Recovery, Mark is a certified PSAP and active member of the American Association of Christian Counselors.
Mark has written four books on recovery: Porn in the Pew, 365 Days to Sexual Integrity, A 90-Day Recovery Guide, and 40 Days to Porn-Free Living. His latest book, Jesus on the 12 Steps, will be released later this year.
