info_outlineIf you’ve begun your recovery from drugs and alcohol, you’ve already taken the first step toward finding serenity. This is because when you’re in active addiction, your life is filled with chaos and dysfunction – not peace and serenity.
During recovery, on the other hand, you’ll learn about inner peace and spiritual healing – and how serenity can help bring you calm as you cope with the ups and downs of life without drugs and/or alcohol.
Tonight, we talk about Serenity

So, here is
Verse 26 - Living Undisturbed
Compassion makes life easy.
Surrender is the master of the restless.
Therefore, those living sober can participate in the activities of the world, undisturbed and without fear.
They can enjoy many material goods yet stay unattached.
As long as compassion and surrender continue, all of this is possible.
