Recovery is based on or choice to have faith in God and put our trust in Him and live changed lives or not too: In Step 3 we make a decision to turn our will and life over to His care. We need to daily consciously make a decision to follow His ways and allow the Holy Spirit to work in and through us in order to achieve healthy sustainable sobriety.

- When we honestly and vigorously take Step 3 we become a new person
Romans 8:12-14 (New Living Translation)
Therefore, dear brothers and sisters,you have no obligation to do what your sinful nature urges you to do. For if you live by its dictates, you will die. But if through the power of the Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.
