Stage One: Soldier/Maiden

---

 “Answering the Call”

The first step on your Quest to Become Recovered is to answer the call to rise as a Soldier or a Maiden. This stage is about laying a foundation and understanding the journey before you. At this point, the battle may seem overwhelming—the grip of addiction, the spiritual void within, and the struggle to find hope. But this is where your transformation begins.

In these chapters, you will confront the reality of your circumstances, acknowledge the deep void only God can fill, and learn the power of repentance and belief. You will be equipped with spiritual armor to face life's challenges and to embrace a new beginning. This stage is about learning to rise from death to life, understanding the basics of faith, and setting your feet on firm ground as you prepare for the battles ahead.

Remember, every Soldier’s journey begins with a decision to step into the fight. As you walk through this stage, let the Word of God be your guide, the Spirit of God be your strength, and the community around you be your support.
