Proverbs 29:23 “A man’s pride brings him low, but a man of lowly spirit gains honor.” The first step in addiction recovery recognizes the fact one needs to place his life in God’s hands.  One must totally remove everything else including his own pride.  There is no such thing as pride either in addiction recovery or in living a successful life.  All of us do well in realizing we are not our own.  We have all been bought by our precious Savior with His precious blood.  Humility carries a treasure house of rewards and who of us doesn’t want to live in a house full of treasure?
