12 Steps of Recovery with PDAP

Step 2: Hope

"Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.” The second step involves turning towards a power or force greater than yourself. Hope and faith keep recovery motivated, sustaining the belief that a higher power will aid in healing from addiction.

This step encourages us to be open to new ideas and possibilities that may aid in our recovery. When we learn to be open, we stop judging and placing expectations; this in return allows us to be teachable and grow. As discussed in Step One, we continue to learn to let go of control.

"Hope guides me. It is what gets me through the day and especially the night."

Happy Rodeo Season, Houston!

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is such an amazing event for our city and it can be a tricky time for those in recovery or choosing sobriety.

Every weekend hosts Sober Socials, which provide the supportive structure that facilitates positive peer pressure and reinforces the key protective factors against substance use/abuse. We build relationships, confidence, belonging, purpose, and social connectedness while demonstrating how to exist in the world while remaining sober. Substances are not necessary to have fun.

12 Steps of Recovery with PDAP

Step1: Honesty

“We admitted we were powerless over substances and that our lives had become unmanageable.” The first step in your recovery healing from addiction is admitting a loss of self-control over a substance.

Honesty is more than not lying, deceiving, stealing, or cheating. It entails showing respect towards others and having integrity and self-awareness. Honesty is also a key element of any successful life away from addiction.

Being honest isn't only about telling the truth. Rather, it's about being real and genuine with yourself and showing up authentically. Honesty in recovery promotes a sense of openness. In the same way, you will feel a sense of empowerment as you show up consistently as your authentic self.
