In The Morning

Rise and Shine! Have you noticed waking up is so hard to do? We have! So... here at the Recovery Center we get up real late... at 7:00 a.m.! Cause our first meeting begins Monday through Friday at 7:30! This gives everyone plenty of time to sprinkle a little water on their face, grab some coffee, and cake, and locate our Bibles before our first meeting begins. There we are going to see! Our eyes will be opened! Yes, possibly for the first time! We will see the King of Glory, then ourselves, others, our world, and the culture we live in. Knowledge... embedded in wisdom is the pathway toward discerning the meaning and reality of health, wealth, and happiness! Knowing Him grants the power, the motivation, the ability to break the shackles of addiction! One, can then enjoy their breakfast. At 9:00 everyone has a house chore to perform. When 10:00 rolls around, we individually break out our workbooks. These books cover both theological and practical aspects of living. From defining the character of God to overcoming various personal issues in our lives. The Holy Spirit will use the material to help the individual see and unravel many of his own difficulties. Life becomes exciting again, as the individual watches himself experiencing the power, and insight to make right decisions. That, "I'm starting to feel good about life again" feeling arrives! Lunch is at 12:00.

In The Afternoon

Outside appointments are made in the afternoon. Shopping for the house, personal study, workshops etc. will be conducted at this time. Every man will be expected to cook dinner once a week. Assistance will be given, if requested. We are seeking to establish a family atmosphere. Therefore the house will function accordingly. We are there for self development, but also to assist in the development of others.

In The Evening

After dinner we will either have a house meeting or attend a Recovery Program. Wednesday nights a local church service will usually be attended. Whenever the meetings are over everyone is free to relax, watch television, play cards, a game, etc. At 10:00 everyone should be in their rooms and lights are out at 11:00.

On The Weekend

On Saturday mornings, whenever possible, we will have a community project. Upon our return, approximately 2:00-3:00, the rest of Saturday is down time. The men can relax. Sunday we will find ourselves in church. There we will meet people, and hear what God has to say to us through the preacher. Although living in a Recovery Home we seek to keep our lives as normal as possible. Some men will eventually be working everyday, or attending various classes. Everyone will be in various phases of the program. So some will be transitioning out while new men will be entering.
