THE SECOND MILE<\/h6>\n

The importance of living \u201cin-the-solution\u201d of the last four steps of recovery is the focus of a newly instituted program of CORE. \u201cThe Second Mile\u201d refers to Matthew 5:41 where Jesus asks everyone to perform above and beyond that which is socially or legally required of a person as it pertains to serving society.<\/p>\n

Whoever forces you to go one mile,
\ngo with him two. – Matthew 5:41<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The \u201c4D Recovery\u201d program reinforces that giving back to others is a priority in maintaining a healthy and sober lifestyle. It is necessary to serve others so that we as recovered addicts can build a healthy and productive life while supporting our families and loved ones. Serving others is a key to living a healthy life.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Second Mile\u201d program is open to anyone who has completed the\u00a0steps and has finished the one-year program of recovery offered by\u00a0CORE. Applicants must currently live in CORE housing. This is a one-year\u00a0program that emphasizes leadership and servitude. Entrance to the program is by\u00a0application and a person may apply if they have graduated from the program or if they\u00a0are within 30 days of their graduated date.<\/p>\n

Successful applicants will perform 100 hours of volunteer service within the one year and attend monthly sessions on leadership and how to live in the steps. Outside speakers will speak to differing topics of interest to the participants. Emphasis of the sessions will be on personal growth, accountability and spirituality. Successful applicants will continue to attend 4D, spirituality classes and CORE Church and strive to be an example to those who have recently entered the program.<\/p>\n

A personal approach to making amends and being financially responsible will be\u00a0mentored by CORE staff members. As a member of \u201cThe Second Mile\u201d program, the\u00a0individual will be asked to start a savings program that will be partially matched after\u00a0a successful completion of the program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
