Who is Celebrate Recovery For?

• Are you just trying to survive these days?
• Are you struggling alone with a problem or addiction and you don't see a way out?
• Maybe you're dealing with a family crisis yet again….
• Or maybe you're re-living past hurts that still cut very deeply?

You've probably heard the old expression "Time heals all wounds." Unfortunately, it isn't true, often times it makes things worse.

You are not alone…there is help…there is hope….

Celebrate Recovery is a biblical and balanced recovery program. Its aim is to help people overcome their hurts and habits.

It is for anyone who believes they are being held back from experiencing God's best plans due to a past or current hurt, habit or hang-up. We all struggle and fall short in satisfying God's requirements. All are welcome to attend Celebrate Recovery.

Chemically Dependent If you find that you cannot quit drinking or using entirely, even when you honestly want to, or if you have little control over the amount you consume, you are probably an alcoholic and/or an addict. If that is the case, you may be suffering from a problem that only a spiritual solution will conquer.

Codependency This group is for those struggling with the compulsion to rescue and take care of others, or those who have difficulty setting boundaries, or recognizing their own worth. Members in this group learn to express their own needs and wants in healthy ways.

Physical/Emotional and Sexual Abuse Those who have endured past physical, sexual and/or emotional abuse. Recovery includes healing from the traumas done to us at some time in our past, as well as healing from the influence these past experiences continue to have on our lives.

Adult Children of Family Dysfunction The family problem made us "co-victims"- those who take on the characteristics of the dysfunctional family member. Choosing to recognize and exit the modeled behaviors is the beginning of recovery.

Sexual Addiction Recovery from lust and compulsive sexual behaviors. This group provides fellowship, is a safe place to share our struggles, pain, and victories, and helps to establish accountability and mutual support among the group members throughout the week.

Eating Disorders and Food Addiction Learn a new way of living. Eating Disorders addresses Anorexia and Bulimia. Food Addiction addresses compulsive overeating and those on the diet roller coaster. We have learned that our tendency is to compulsively try to control food or to be out of control with food. At your own pace, you will learn to trust, to ask for your needs to be met, to say "no" when it is appropriate, to express your feelings, and to hang around when all you want to do is run.

Recovery from Anger These recovery groups are for men and women who find that anger is their first response to problems of any size. The anger may be very evident as rage, or less obvious in terms of withdrawal and isolation. These groups focus on managing a God-given emotion in constructive ways.

Same Sex Attraction Is your relationship with God characterized by shame and guilt? Have you pulled away from healthy relationships because of homosexual issues? If you relate to these struggles, we welcome you to join us for hope and strength as we learn how to apply the 8 Recovery Principles to our lives.

Celebrate Recovery is a Christian-recovery ministry based on eight principles from the Beatitudes. We meet for dinner, worship, teaching and sharing every Monday night of the year in Grace Chapel's Fellowship Hall beginning January 28 at 5:30 pm.

Celebrate Recovery is for anyone who believes they are being held back from experiencing God's best plans due to a past or current hurt, habit or hang-up. We all struggle and fall short in satisfying God's requirements. All are welcome to attend Celebrate Recovery.

Are you at a place of defeat? Have you lost hope? We invite you to join us on the journey back to joy, freedom and hope. There is hope in Jesus Christ. There is a place for you at Grace Chapel.
