Beauty for Ashes-Aftercare Program

WELCOME LADIES!

Steps to Empowerment is a support group that focuses on spirituality, personal growth, and healing. By sharing personal experiences in a nurturing environment, group members will learn to overcome problems related to low self-esteem, addiction, sorrow or loss, or chronic enabling. Focusing on issues of everyday life, this group will address the following 12 steps that are designed to promote personal growth and awareness:

Step 1:

We acknowledge we are powerless over addictions, codependent, and compulsive behaviors. We affirm we have the power to take charge of our lives and stop being dependent on substances or other people, but rather we look to our creator for our self-esteem and empowerment.

Step 2:

We come to believe that a loving God can awaken the faith within us to trust the healing power of truth.

Step 3:

We make a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God.

Step 4:

We honestly and thoroughly examine our beliefs, addictions, and dependent behavior by doing a moral inventory of ourselves.  Our moral inventory includes our qualities, strengths, intelligence, and creativity.

Step 5:

We share with God and a trusted confidant those beliefs and behaviors inside of us for which we feel shame and guilt that keeps us from loving ourselves and others.

Step 6:

We humbly ask God to remove our fear, resentment, dishonesty, and selfishness, that victory over them bear witness to those we would help of His Power, His Love, and His Way of life. 

Step 7:

We became willing to be of service to God and were granted the strength to do His bidding. We ask for the wisdom to find our calling and follow through with it.

Step 8:

We make a list of all persons we harmed and make direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. 

Step 9:

We take steps to heal our physical bodies, organize our lives, reduce stress, and live a life of serenity and acceptance. 

Step 10:

We continue to engage in loving self-reflection, seeking situations, jobs, and people that affirm our intelligence, perceptions, and self-worth.  We set right any new mistakes as we go along. 

Step 11:

We seek through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, praying only for knowledge of his will for us and the power to carry that out.  We recognize when we stray from our relationship with God and take immediate steps to correct it. 

Step 12:                        

Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, we increasingly appreciate the wonders of life and the blessings we do have, carrying a message of love and gratitude to others.
