The Narrow Gate Recovery GroupThis is a new group serving Aurora, Colorado"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is
the road that leads to destruction, and many people enter through that gate. But the gate is small and the path is
narrow that leads to true life, and only a few people find and take that path."
Then the Narrow Gate Recovery Group is here to serve you! This is a new group that is just now forming. Meetings will generally be 90 minutes in duration and will be 12-Step oriented. The meetings will be held once a week; additional meeting times will be added as needed. Initially, the group will meet in-house, just like the pioneers of Alcoholic Anonymous did. If this is something you would be interested in, please call Karl at 720-331-9059 between the hours of 9 AM to 5 PM, Monday - Friday.
Our Purpose Statement The purpose of the Narrow Gate Recovery Group is to promote the Christian principles that the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous originally applied in their recovery, and to provide support for those who desire to participate in recovery-group meetings, based upon those principles and as practiced in the pioneer recovery group that began in Akron, Ohio, with Dr. Bob Smith and his wife, Anne. The Narrow Gate Recovery Group is in no way affiliated with, nor represents, Alcoholics Anonymous or any other 12-step recovery program - in whole or in part. Neither are we aligned with any religious sect, denomination, or cult. Just like the original group of recovering alcoholics that formed in Akron, Ohio, our purpose is to help those who have a desire to recover from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body. "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another" (Proverbs 27:17). There is nothing more effective than one-on-one recovery; one addict or alcoholic working with another. By the same token, "there is only One who has all power, that One is God". Therefore we feel that by returning to the original program of recovery that was firmly based upon Christ-centered, New Testament principles, we not only gain sobriety, we also discover the greatest treasure of all - a new life in Christ! "For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?" (Mark 8:36; cf. Matt 16:26 and Luke 9:25). The Narrow Gate Recovery Group, in and of itself, is not meant to replace or supplant any other 12-Step organization or program of recovery. Neither do we make any claims as to the efficacy of the support we offer. We are not professionals in any sense of the word. We are simply people who have a desire to work the steps with Christ as our foundation and to share our experience, strength, and hope in Christ - in a meeting - without being told that it isn't appropriate or being shunned because we share the same belief as the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous IF YOU LONG TO PARTICIPATE IN 12-STEP MEETINGS WHERE CHRIST IS THE CORNERSTONE OF YOUR RECOVERY, then I invite you to join with The Narrow Gate Recovery Group here in Aurora, Colorado, to form and sponsor groups comprised of like-minded people who practice the principles of recovery with the “Good Shepherd” as the God of our understanding.
