Addiction Recovery Resources

Aug 24, 2025 Email to the Valencia Stake

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
The Addiction Recovery Program is a practical guide to the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Each week participants from both stakes (and elsewhere) strive to progress through twelve steps of love and healing, facilitated by dedicated members who themselves have hard-won testimonies of this course in faith and repentance. The Spirit is often very strong in these meetings. The class meets at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday evenings in the Valencia Stake offices in the McBean building. There is also an adjunct class for family members of those battling addictions where the same material is covered.
However, in recent months, attendance has ebbed to near zero. Accordingly, the program will go on hiatus until October 7th (the Tuesday following General Conference) when the meetings will start afresh. If you or your loved ones could benefit, please gear up and prepare to attend at that date when we will begin again with the first step. If you can't make it that day, but would nevertheless like to attend going forward, please alert your Bishop or Branch President, Relief Society or Elders' Quorum President so that resources can be made available.
May we surrender our wills to the Lord and rely on the grace of Jesus Christ as we work out our salvation together.
With Love,
Valencia Stake PresidencyP.S. For clarity, the hiatus is for the group addressing general addictions of all kinds. The specific Pornography Addiction Recovery Group will continue to meet through this period at its normal time (details are in unit bulletins).
