Celebrate Recovery, rooted in the beatitudes, is the mechanics of how to talk and walk a Christian life. Personal responsibility and a spiritual commitment to Jesus Christ are emphasized. Our large group meeting includes live contemporary worship music, and alter-nates between a testimony and a recovery lesson week to week. CR is a safe, confidential and anonymous program that follows 12 biblical steps designed in a specific order to help you gain freedom from the compulsive behaviors, patterns, addictions, dysfunction and pain that may be weighing you down. These hurts, habits and hang-ups include, but are not limited to: fear of abandonment, abuse recovery, anger, approval issues, boundary issues, bitterness/hatred, chemical dependency, codependency (aka the ‘disease to please’), control issues, compulsive shopping, depression, distraction, divorce recovery, domestic violence, eating disorders, fear/anxiety, financial issues, flawed thinking patterns, forgiveness/unforgiveness, gambling addiction, grief, guilt, honest issues, hurtful or dysfunctional relationships, insecurity, legalism, narcissistic behaviors, manipulation, obsessive-compulsiveness, overspending, performance-based mindset, perfectionism, viewing pornography, pride, procrastination, fear of rejection, issues with trust, self-esteem issues, self-pity, sexual abuse, sex-ual addiction, shame, workaholism.
