If we've been working the steps, our sobriety is now on a firm foundation. We can now "carry it forward" with this step that reaches out to others in their addiction. We connect with others who need help, and offer kind and nonjudgmental assistance through their journey to sobriety.

It is messy, it is hard, and it is WORTH IT!!! Often, it's those in recovery who have that "sixth sense" of finding those who need help, and who can relate to the shame, chaos, and indecision it brings. If you're at the end of your rope, come join us, we love you and want a peaceful and loving life for you. You're among friends.

Overcomers Outreach is a 12-step, Christ-based recovery program that meets every Tuesday night from 7-8pm at Tehachapi Vineyard Church (502 E Pinon). We hope to see you Tuesday night - this month we focus on how we give back. We can't wait to see you there!

Here's another meet-up (in Mojave) for those in recovery.

In April, we are tackling self-awareness, trying to view ourselves "soberly" - that is, accurately and realistically. A moral inventory of ourselves will "shine a light" on our hangups/hurts/failings, but it also forces us to look at our inherent goodness and our "wins" as well. God created each of us with unique abilities and gifts, we were created for a purpose. You can start unwrapping your gifts (and "red flags") as you tackle to this step.

Lamentations 3:40 states, "Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord." Our Overcomer's group is there to support you as you peel back the layers to reveal the precious creation you were meant to be!

"Surrender" can be a hard concept to grasp, especially for those who have had to survive by their own actions. God does not want us to suffer under these "old ways of being" of surviving and not thriving. Instead, He wants us to lay our burdens at His feet. We will be discussing this concept during our meetings in March.
