Alcoholics for Christ - 12 Step, Christ Centered,
Program for Alcoholics and Substance Abusers

Laying the Groundwork

1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol - that our lives had become unmanageable 

1. We admitted that we had become powerless over alcohol or the alcoholic (the substance we had abused or the substance abuser) and that our lives were unmanageable.
There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death. (Prov 14:12) For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do - this I keep on doing. (Rom 7:19) What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? (ROM 7:24)

Jesus answered " I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:16)  For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life. (John 6:40) For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

For if you tell others with your own mouth that Jesus Christ is your Lord, and believe in your own heart that God raised him from the dead. You will be saved. For it is by believing in his heart that a man becomes right with God; and with his mouth he tells others of his faith, confirming his salvation.

(Acts 1:8) Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself or you may be also tempted. (Gal 6:1) The end of all things is near.

Mutual Recovery


Complete Total, and Whole Recovery for the marriage, for the husband and for the wife, means that:

  1. Any healing that has occurred in either individual adds to the completeness of the union, and
      
  2. That any area that is lacking healing detracts from the whole.

Collective Utilization: A couple can (together) use the 12 step recovery program in their marriage as a healing process. Both must be involved.

Step One: We (together) admitted that we (together) had become powerless over_______________ in our married life, and that our lives (together) were unmanageable. (Blank space example: deviceness & strife; excessive & frivolous spending; how to nurture/ discipline children; silence & division; etc.)

Step Two: We (together) came to believe that through Jesus Christ we (and our marriage) could be restored to right relationship (with each other) with God the Father and subsequent sanity and stability in our married lives.

Step Three: We (together) made the corporate decision to turn from the individual things of the past and invite Jesus to be the Lord and Manager of our marriage.

Step Four: We (together) made a searching and fearless moral inventory of our marriage (Our relationship to each other and with the Lord).

Step Five: We (together) admitted to God, ourselves, and other human beings (another couple) the exact nature of our wrongs.

Step Six: We (together) were entirely ready to have God remove all our connubial defects (Married state).

Step Seven: We (together) humbly ask Him to remove our shortcomings of Marriage and to forgive us - believing He would remove them-and together receive His forgiveness.

Step Eight: We (together) made a list of all the people (especially our children and our parents) we had harmed and together we became willing to make amends to them all.

Step Nine: We (together) made a direct amends to such people, wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

Step Ten: We (together) continue to take inventory of our marriage, and when we were wrong promptly admit it.

Step Eleven: We (together) sought through prayer and meditation on God's word to increase our corporate fellowship with Him. Praying continually for the knowledge of His will for our marriage and the power of His Might to accomplish it.

Step Twelve: We, together in our marriage union, having been spiritually restored and set free from "the sin which so easily beset us," we attempt to share this freedom, and the one who has freed us with those who still suffer (with a troubled marriage) and practice the principals in all our affairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

The introduction format that has been chosen, is to answer four of the more common question we are asked. The basic thrust of the Alcoholics For Christ ministries outlined in our materials is to provide non-denominational, Jesus-centered, substance abuse support groups that utilize a common format and can be supported by the entire Bible-believing Christian community worldwide.

This is a big job, but we are seeing remarkable evidences that the Body of Christ is beginning to be open to using the tools that are available to them for the recovery from chemical dependency.

  • Why Alcoholics for Christ?  Why not my own local church or group sponsored by a particular denomination or ministry?

    A. A/C is basically a para-ministry that God has established and blessed. It has been time-proven and is growing at a steady rate. As you know, para-ministries face unique sets of problems within Christian community, and by bringing individual groups together in unity of purpose and communization of study materials we can then help each other to grow as these situations are met and resolved.

B. Because A/C is non-denominational and solely dependent financially on the support of those individuals who attend it, there is a greater chance of it's being non-denominational or ministerially non-threatening.

C. A/C Can serve as a neutral vehicle which ideally, the entire Christian community can support, thereby preventing some of the competition that we know exists, unfortunately, between various denominations, Christian factions and ministries.

  • What about the name? The A/C name is offensive to some, why not call it something that the Church is comfortable with?

A. The church in general has never effectively dealt with the problem of chemical dependency on a meaningful scale, and in order for it to move from the point where it presently is, many uncomfortable changes may be involved.

B. The name Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) has been offensive to many for years; however, it remains the world's leader in the successful treatment of alcoholism. A/C really portrays what AA was originally intended to be and by association of names is easily recognizable "up front" as a Christian substance abuse program. Our desire is to see the strangle-hold of "denial" broken in the Church and the very name of A/C itself can help it to happen.

  • What about A/C and non-Christian groups?

    A. A/C , because of the 12 step recovery program used by organizations such as AA, NA, OA, etc, comfortably utilizes these programs throughout the world until such time as local A/C chapters are established and are meeting the needs of those attending them.

  • What about treatment centers, does A/C have it's own?

    A. This is not our ministry. We at one time considered developing several half-way houses but the Lord convinced us that we should not divide our efforts and that we should concentrate on the establishment of support groups.

    B. Christian treatment centers such as those found at Raph House, City of Faith, Salvation Army and others are desperately needed and we wholeheartedly support the establishment such centers worldwide.

It is our prayer that as these centers are established that A/C support groups can be included as part of the recovery program, which in turn would enable those who have received treatment to return to their homes not only with recovery but also with the seed planted of seeing an A/C chapter in their area.

Finally, A/C support groups can be established by all of the Christian denominations and major ministries without the need to reject them on the basis of their being sponsored by another denomination or ministry they may not be always theologically in agreement with. We believe that now is the time for all Bible believing denominations, independent churches and Christian

PRAISE REPORTS

I am grateful and abundantly blessed to have attended the annual Praise fest this year on November 23, 2010 at the Metropolitan Baptist church. And  to see district officers and people with a range of clean from 30 to 3 days come together and celebrate our redeeming and liberating Christ was a moving experience. Just as drug and alcohol addictions cross every strata, culture, class, race, and gender bringing with it sickness, institutions, and death; recovery made possible by Christ brings wellness, voluntary memberships, and life.
i am a member of the Lighthouse Alcoholics for Christ meetings and we are the new kids on the block just starting in July of this year 2010. We ask for your prayers as we seek to be a lighthouse to those who have lost their way on the storm tossed sea of life and are shipwrecked by addictions to find safe harbor and refuge in Jesus Christ. we are grateful for those who helped us in the initial formation of the group; Jesse Washington, John Davis, and Mike Riley. Brother C. L. Peete and Sister Rhonda Peete are providing the group with excellent leadership and are good stewards over the work god has committed to their hands. We look forward to the men’s retreat 2011 and praise fest.  Remember only what you do for Christ will last.

Ministries serving Substances abusers, Family Members, and Adult Children

Statement of Faith

AC is an inter-denominational, non profit, Christian fellowship that ministers to three groups:
Alcoholics or Substance abusers, Family members- those who relate regularly with an alcoholic or substance abuser, and Adult Children - individuals who were raised in alcoholic, substance abuse or dysfunctional families,

AC ministries is dedicated to the propagation of the gospel of Jesus Christ, as well as sharing His burden for the lost and hurting individuals.

We believe that "God as we understand Him" is the triunion God, "God the Father," "God the Son," and "God the Holy Spirit," and by the acceptance of Jesus Christ as personal Savior, we receive eternal life. Jesus is the doorway to fullness of life in the Spirit and the means by which we can turn our lives and wills completely over to God.

This fellowship uses the Word of God as its primary source of direction. Those leading the meetings are all "Born Again," compassionate Christians, dedicated to the service of Jesus Christ.

Our chief goal is to direct and restore the alcoholic or substance abuser, the family member and the adult child to a sincere and dedicated relationship with Jesus Christ. Utilizing the written Word of God, they are made aware of the mighty tools available to them as born-again believers. Jesus begins by healing the inner man and working outward. We believe that as a person dies to self and is reborn to Christ (2 Cor. 5:17) he/she can be totally released from oppression and fear that have kept him/her in bondage. (John 8:36)

We encourage that a person stay active in their local A/C, AA, NA, ACOA, or other support group and continue to worship within their own body of believers. We suggest where there is no strong church ties existing, that the person becomes active in a Bible-believing church of his/her own choice.


What is ACAC?
Alcoholics for Christ Adult Children (ACAC) is a support group for adults who have grown up in an alcoholic family system or any other dysfunctional system.

Who may participate?
Anyone who identifies with the issues and is willing to deal with them (anyone open to change).

How do the support groups work?
Each week the participants of ACAC groups come together in an atmosphere of freedom, safety, love, hope, and honesty. The 12 steps of Alcoholics for Christ are applied as well as selected scriptures and the "problem list" (found in pamphlet) to help identify issues.

What direction is given?
Group leaders are trained to lead discussion groups and give direction on a limited level. In cases where the individual is dealing with deeper issues and change is difficult, we recommend individual counseling with a Christian professional, pastor, and/or church leader, in conjunction with weekly meetings.

What are the priorities of ACAC?
Our purpose in the discussion group is to become more like Christ and to increase in fellowship with God. We do this by becoming open and transparent with God, ourselves, and others, and by allowing the Lord to "brick by brick" remove the walls of rejection, hurt, mistrust, unforgiveness, and anger that have separated us not only from God, but ourselves and others as well.

Truly, God wants us whole, and if we will put into practice the principals set forth in these steps, and open ourselves to God's word and the interaction at the tables, God will heal us and restore us beyond our wildest imagination.

Thoughts for the Family Member

The Alcoholics for Christ Family Group is for family members or concerned persons of an alcoholic, substance abuser or persons from a dysfunctional Background. The A/C Family Group's purpose is to create an atmosphere in which people can share their experiences, strengths and hope with one another. It is our goal to direct those to a personal relationship with Christ so wholeness and healing are possible. This is a safe place, and each person is accepted right where they are, while ministering one to another. Regular attendance brings knowledge, comfort and encouragement whether your loved one is active in his/her addiction or not. At the meetings, we share and pray for each other, thereby strengthening the body of Christ. (James 5:16)

Direction and love are given through God's Word and modified version of Alcoholics Anonymous 12 steps.


What is the Prison / Jail Ministry of Alcoholics for Christ?

P/JM Workbooks:We are pleased to announce that there are workbooks available to Chaplains who request them from the AC Office Each step is on a single sheet that can be copied and distributed to inmates that attend Alcoholics for Christ meetings within your facility.

The Prison / Jail Ministry (PJM) 12-Step Program begins in correctional facilities for the imprisoned, and by having the inmate take ownership in their program of recovery, it then goes with them when they are released. Because the 12-Step Program has proven to be so successful, when worked as a Christ-centered, Bible-based way of living, the prisoner becomes "free" in more ways than just the physical.

Mission Statement: To provide a 12-Step Recovery Program that deals with the addiction that has caused the chaos that led to incarceration. To supply support to the ex-offender after release, the kind of support that breaks the "Cycle of Recidivism," by propagating the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Vision of PJM: To network with existing ministries which provide supportive assistance to meet the needs of ex- offenders, that we do not provide; and that we all become a body community to help those in need, to include training, tutorials, and sponsorship.

How does it work? The Christ-Centered 12-Step Recovery Program is introduced into the institutions in one of three ways: (1) by a recovered substance abuser, (2) by a layperson who has the heart for this area, or (3) by someone under the supervision of the chaplaincy. However the mode of introduction, it must be under the "Covering of the Chaplaincy" (like A/C meetings that have the "Covering" of the local church and pastor).
     This 12-Step Program works in conjunction with other prison ministries, to bring the incarcerated to a closer relationship with the true and living God. At no time would this program supplant any other ministry program.
     After the person is released from the correctional facility, (she) he would be directed to continue to attend a 12-Step program in a local church setting. If there were none available, we would help to set one up within a close proximity. In the meantime, we would encourage the person to become active in the local AA, NA, CA, or whatever 12-Step meeting is readily available. We are a strong believer, and encourager of programs like Overcomers Outreach, and Alcoholics Victorious.
     Furthermore, we strongly encourage the person(s) to attend, and become active in a local church of their choice. We cannot emphasize strongly enough, the importance of a Bible-Study (group or otherwise), daily prayer and meditation.

Why is it necessary? In a recent study (Fall-2000) by Maria Buck (Workforce Development), there are 500,000 people released from prison every year. Of the six million people in the criminal justice system, there is 1.8 million inmates, 700,00 parolees, and 3.4 million probationers. The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) states that 58.6% of its inmates were there for substance abuse related crimes, and that of the total prison population these had the highest rate of relapse and re-incarceration. 91% of those released failed their drug test after one year (Parole in America's Criminal System, 1998).
     A tremendous amount of the Lord's work is being done by Prison Fellowship International (PFI) through all of the various services that they provide. Another fine ministry is the International Prison Ministry, in it's supplying of Bibles and other literature. There is absolutely no reason to duplicate theirs or other ministries fine works; instead the A/C PJM will promote a program of abstinence through discipline, and discipleship. Over the past 25 years of operation, A/C has proved the 12-Step concept found in the Bible to be a "pathway of freedom," when Jesus is Lord and Master.

What is the purpose? Many of those released from institutions have acquired a mistaken identity, and a lack of real self-respect. Along with shattered self-esteem, they are unable to have any type of meaningful relationships. Honest, sincere relationships with; (1) God, (2) Others, and finally (3) Themselves. However, by breaking this "isolationism," the person is then able to establish healthy relationships in all three areas. And that's what this program is about: bringing the person(s) to sincere, trusting relationships by using the power of covenants. We have discovered that accountability and confession remove some of Satan's most devastating weapons.

What is the goal? Use all of our available resources to help the imprisoned person to a "life of freedom, " through an eternal relationship with Jesus. To assist the released person to; get into a regular church life, find a support community to share openly with, and to help them get the necessary training, etc., that will help them live a meaningful, joy-filled life. Which also means, that he will take his rightful place in the family (of God and man).
