The Journey to Wholeness program was developed by the North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists, along with our partners, in order to provide a safe environment for individuals recovering from addictions.  These “Recovery Groups” follow the 12 Steps, 12 Traditions, and 12 Concepts as modified from Alcoholics Anonymous.

The Recovery Group offers the following:An atmosphere of Christian love and acceptance, where people meet on a weekly basis and become openly honest with each otherA “safe place” where anonymity and confidentiality are respectedAn opportunity to share experiences, strengths, and hopes without “cross-talk” and judgmentalismEncouragement to earnestly seek God to do for them what they cannot do for themselvesMost important, they are invited to recognize that Jesus Christ is the Highest PowerRecovery and freedom from obsessive thoughts, compulsive actions, habitual behaviors, and spiritual separationWorkbook material to aid you on your Journey to WholenessWe invite you to join a Recovery Group if you can describe yourself as any of the following:I have a desire to stay clean and soberI hope to rise above the pain and turmoil engendered by the addiction of a loved oneI wish to break the bondage of compulsive behaviorI am clean and sober (required of all attendees)I have a family member or loved one who is sufferingI am living with the struggles of emotional or mental health challenges, such as depression, bipolar, mood disorders, or ADHDI am powerless over people, situations, and things in the mental, physical, spiritual, and/or social areas of my life
