Biblical Insights & AA Fellowship — Surrender, Support & Lasting Sobriety

“My grace is sufficient for you…” (2 Cor 12:9)—yet grace often arrives through community. If you’ve wrestled alone with alcohol, it’s time to lean into AA’s proven 12‑step fellowship. Welcome to the fusion of biblical surrender and peer recovery at Unity for Recovery. We Are One Recovery is your home for lasting sobriety support.

Many hills and valleys to climb

1. Surrender with Scripture & Step 1

Biblical anchor: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13)

In AA’s Step 1 we admit powerlessness over alcohol. That admission echoes biblical surrender—acknowledging we cannot overcome addiction alone. Speak it aloud in your first meeting: “I am powerless, and my life has become unmanageable.” That moment cracks open hope.
