Powerful Christian Prayers for the First 90 Days of Addiction Recovery: Practical Tools, Real Recovery Wisdom, and My Story to Help You Survive Withdrawal and Stay Clean and Sober, One Day at a Time
About
The first ninety days of recovery are the hardest you will ever walk through. This book was written to walk through them with you.
Written by a man twenty-six years sober — not a clinician looking in from the outside, but someone who lived fifteen years of active addiction and came out the other side — Powerful Christian Prayers for the First 90 Days of Addiction Recovery is a Christian recovery devotional built for exactly where you are right now: shaking, uncertain, and wondering if this time can be different.
This isn’t a generic 90-day devotional with one reading for every calendar day. It’s a Christian addiction recovery companion built around 35 honest, untimed readings organized around the first three of the Twelve Steps — because recovery doesn’t run on a fixed script, and neither should the book meant to help you through it.
Inside this Christian sobriety devotional, you’ll find:
- 35 honest, untimed devotionals for withdrawal, cravings, sleepless nights, shame, anger, loneliness, and the fear that recovery won’t work this time — organized around Step One (Admitting), Step Two (Coming to Believe), and Step Three (Turning It Over)
- Real Scripture, real prayer, and real reflection questions for every entry — Christian prayers written for addiction recovery, not borrowed from a general devotional
- Check-Ins after every stage — what to expect next, why people struggle at that point, and an honest story (mine, or someone else’s) to prove you’re not the only one going through it
- A Checkpoint after every one of the Twelve Steps — the honest answer to “how do I know I’m ready to move on,” grounded in real twelve-step recovery guidance, not guesswork or false certainty
- An honest preview of Steps Four through Twelve — a map for the road after this book, because ninety days is not enough time to finish the Twelve Steps, and this book will not pretend otherwise
- My own story, told throughout — the last beer outside the church door, the shaking, the shame, the three hospitalizations, and twenty-six years of what came after
- A medical section explaining what’s actually happening in your body and mind during acute withdrawal and the weeks that follow
- Crisis resources and guidance on finding a sponsor, a meeting, and a fellowship — because no book replaces a real recovery program
This Christian recovery devotional blends the life-saving structure of twelve-step recovery with the grounding power of Christian faith — Scripture, honest prayer, and a voice that has actually been where you are. It doesn’t ask you to have ninety days figured out. It only asks for today.
Written for:
- Anyone in the first days or months of addiction recovery from alcohol or drugs
- Christians working the Twelve Steps through AA, NA, or a faith-based recovery program
- Sponsors looking for a meaningful gift for a new sponsee
- Anyone who has tried to get sober before and needs a companion that tells the truth about how hard — and how possible — this really is
You don’t have to feel ready. You don’t have to have a plan for all ninety days. You just have to be willing to stay one more day — and this book will be here for every one of them.
One day at a time.
