Regarding step one, there is a commonality between Addiction, Codependency and Trauma, and it resides in our inability to control people, places and things which to some degree cause powerlessness and unmanageability in all of us.
· One aspect of the insanity with addiction/codependency and trauma is the need for control.
· We attempt to control our feelings with substances, relationships and activities.
· We try to control other people or organizations by threatening or manipulating.
· How have you seen this urge to control show up in your life?
Part of recovering from addictions/codependency and trauma is becoming a servant for God instead of assuming the position of God.
· What do you do when it looks like the situation is out of control?
· Do you do anything to keep a disaster from happening?
· Do you feel like you are the only one who can keep everything from falling apart?
· What triggers you into becoming a controlling person?
· Have you seen times when a total disaster turned out to be a good thing?
· How has God helped you to trust Him? How can you tell when you’re taking charge of a situation in a healthy way, a way that trusts that God is in charge?
Join us in this examination of the start of our journey from addiction to recovery, from chaos to peace, from death to life.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
