Spiritual Laws

Mark Houston Recovery Center residents are introduced to a set of Spiritual Laws which govern our world. Knowing how these timeless laws work enables us to use them for our highest good.

• Law of Consent.
    Give others permission to help you eliminate self-delusion.



• Law of Caring
    If you don't care about yourself as evidenced in your actions, the world cannot, and will not, care about you.



• Law of Cause and Effect.
    What I put out will return to me, ALWAYS.



• Law of Use
    If you don't use it, you lose it.



• Law of Responsibility
    Your Higher Power will not do for you what you are supposed to do for yourself.



• Law of Substitution
    Turn away from negative self-talk.



• Law of Relaxation
    In all mental work be relaxed, gentle, and unhurried.



• Law of Subconscious Activity
    As soon as your subconscious mind accepts an idea, both good ideas and bad, it will begin immediately to put it into effect, both good ideas and bad.



• Law of Practice
    Practice is the price of proficiency.



• Law of Forgiveness
    In your heart, and to all.



• Law of Growth
    What you think upon grows.



• Law of Intent
    Set your intent and watch it manifest in your life through action.

Over the course of a minimum of 90 days, we teach our residents how these Laws have shaped the life they are currently experiencing and show them how they can recreate their life in recovery.
