First Step

Addiction & Recovery Program

Mission Statement: An Addict is Never alone

2 Corinthians 5:14-19 New Living Translation (NLT)

4 Either way, Christ’s love controls us. Since we believe that Christ died for all, we also believe that we have all died to our old life. 15 He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead, they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them.

16 So we have stopped evaluating others from a human point of view. At one time we thought of Christ merely from a human point of view. How differently we know him now! 17 This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!

18 And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him. 19 For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.

First Step is a Faith Based Recovery Support Group. At First Step our goal is to help all addicts with support during their recovery and to share the love of God that is there for every one of us. It is an open meeting so your non addict support team can come with you.

We follow a 12 step program.

We meet every Wednesday evening at 7:00pm to 8:30pm at the Shared Blessings shelter in Bonne Terre Mo at 518 Grove St.
