Celebrate Recovery from Addictions

One of the most difficult processes a person suffering from addictions has to endure is the twelve step recovery program. The long road to recovery is a constant battle for both the addict and the family of the addict. Each day free from the addiction is a milestone to be celebrated. Recognizing the success and hard work of the addict gives the encouragement and support he or she needs to keep going and to keep striving to kick the habit, no matter how insurmountable it seems.

12 Step Recovery Jewelry

One of the most visible signs of support and celebration of recovery is step recovery jewelry. Giving a recovering addict a recovery medallion to carry in a pocket or wear on a necklace shows the love and faith you have in the person struggling with the addiction. The recovering addict can hold the recovery medal in his or her hand and feel your support. The recovery charm may be just what he or she needs to press on with the 12 step process.

A very popular recovery pendant depicts praying hands with the Serenity Prayer engraved on the back. The wonderful thing about this recovery medal is that the recovering person has the Serenity Prayer available at all times to recite when being tempted by the addiction. It is a beautiful prayer not just for addicts, but for all people who need encouragement in their lives.

The Serenity Prayer

God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time,
enjoying one moment at a time,
accepting hardship as the pathway to peace;
taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it;
trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His will;
that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
and supremely happy with Him forever
in the next.
Amen
