THE ROAD TO RECOVERY
Eight Recovery Principles based on the BEATITUDES
by Pastor Rick Warren
R= 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" Matthew 5:3
E= Principle 2-
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" Matthew 5:1
C= Principle 3-
Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ's care and
control.
"Happy are the meek" Matthew 5:5

Openly examine and confess my faults to God, to myself, and to someone I
trust.
"Happy are the pure in heart" Matthew 5:8
V= Principle 5-
Voluntarily submit to every change God wants to make in my life and humbly
as Him to remove my character defects.
"Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires" Matthew
5:8
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" Matthew 5:7,9
R= Principle 7-
Reserve a daily time with God for self 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.

example and by my words.
