Celebrate A New Life is a Christian Alcohol Rehab and California Drug Treatment Center. We offer high-quality residential treatment in the coastal communities of Southern California. We can see that a relationship with Christ as the only way to true healing. In the early days of A.A. that is the message that was taught. This is the message that we teach at celebrate a New Life.
The foregoing three sets of facts need to be learned and known today. There is a vital need for a Great Spiritual Awakening in the recovery community, in recovery programs, among churches and clergy, and in recovery fellowships. There is a need to restore our Heavenly Father, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and the Word of God to the center of recovery programs, recovery efforts, and recovery literature. For the premise of early A.A.—still to be found in the Big Book—is that the alcoholic cannot manage his own life, that probably no human power can relieve him of his alcoholism, and that God can and will if He is sought. The basic ideas for A.A. came from the Bible, and the potential is described in Hebrews 11:6:
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
As A.A. Cofounder Dr. Bob explained to a member the meaning of the slogan “First things first,” Bob pointed to Matthew 6:23 in Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount:
But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
