--The Brian R Carroll 12 Step Retreat--
-In Loving memory of Brian R. Carroll-
Gianna's House Inc is proud to announce the
opening of its first concentrated 12 step house.
Our staff will guide and support those who
are in search of the total psychic change which
is found through ones journey working
the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.
The Carroll House Schedule will include:
Daily Meditation:
Our residents will be guided through prayer
and meditation daily, to improve their
conscious contact with GOD as they
understand him, praying for knowledge of his
will and the power to carry that out.
The Carroll House is blessed with staff who
are trained extensively in multiple forms of
meditation to enable the resident to embrace
this quiet time and allow gods grace to quietly enter their souls and "so that we will have a new power and strength enabling us to do that which we could never do before" (BB).
Immediate Step Work:
Upon entrance into the Carroll House each resident will be outfitted with a Big Book and a Note book, their journey begins that day, with careful guidance from staff who have successfully completed their 12 steps and continue to implement 10, 11, and 12 in all of their affairs.
Daily Inventory Check In's:
The daily inventory check in is an opportunity for the staff and the resident to work closely on the those components of the residents personal inventory to maintain an understanding of their new direction in spiritual growth.
