ICU-Steps Six and Seven- Do Not Resuscitate!

We come into recovery wishing to be done with a particularly bad habit or distressing relationship. As we get into it, we realize our addiction or relational problem is just the tip of the iceberg. God wants to root out all our character defects and he will take them as we become willing and ask for him to do it. Vicky Dimmitt leads the way in this powerful teaching.
