Christian addiction recovery

Christian addiction recovery, without anyone pressuring you to pray.

168 Alliance of the Treasure Coast is a free, non-pressured Christian community for men working through hurts, bad habits, character defects and addictions. We are honest that we follow Jesus. We are just as honest that you can sit here quietly, believe very little, and still belong.

What Christian recovery looks like here

Rooms open all night

The hard hours are rarely at meeting time. Our chat rooms stay open 24/7 so there is somewhere to go at 2 a.m. instead of back to the old habit.

Christ-centered 12 Step lessons

Each Step is written plainly, with gentle Scripture, and can be read or listened to. No church background required to follow along.

Men who have walked it

Not counselors or clergy. Men who worked the Steps through their own hurts, habits and addictions and are willing to sit with someone else.

No pressure, no shame

Use a first name and last initial. Read for weeks without saying a word. Nobody is put on the spot to pray or share.

How men actually start

  1. 1

    Admit it out loud once

    Say the true thing in a room where nobody flinches. That is Step One, and it is where every recovery starts.

  2. 2

    Let Jesus carry what you cannot

    We name Jesus as the Higher Power. You do not have to have that settled to belong here — you only have to be honest.

  3. 3

    Take an honest look

    The Steps walk you through inventory, confession and amends at a pace a mentor can keep up with you on.

  4. 4

    Stay in the other 166 hours

    Keep your in-person meeting, add a mentor, and use the rooms in between. That combination is what holds.
