How can Celebrate Recovery change your life ...

A proven groundbreaking recovery program that life's problems including, alcoholism, divorce, sexual abuse, co-dependency, domestic violence, drug addiction, sex addiction, food addiction, gambling addiction:

Celebrate Recovery is a 12 step course, which offers people the opportunity of a fresh start, new hope, ongoing support and encouragement to both men and women who have struggles with 'hurts, hang-ups and habits'.

We live in a time when many people carry serious damage in the lives. Some from past mistakes and other's from experiences, where they have been a victim. Often deep rooted issues leave individuals with nowhere to turn for understanding or help. Celebrate Recovery is a Christ centred programme designed to help people to take steps out of their problems and to 'Recover' life as God intended us to know it. The goal is to help each person find a freedom and peace that Jesus promised for everyone and to celebrate God's healing power in their lives.

The Celebrate Recovery course takes a year to complete and goes through a series of 12 steps applying Biblical principles, which allow us to become changed and free from the pain and conflicts in our lives. As we begin to grow spiritually, this freedom brings us to a place of peace and joy, giving us strong personal relationships with God and others.

Meetings are arranged in small groups, which provide a safe place to share experiences, strength and hope with others. These are led by a trained leader with opportunity for working with an accountability partner.

No attempt is made to offer any professional clinical advice.

The first part of the meeting takes place as in a large group setting. At this point a lesson is taught. The rest of the meeting is split into small groups which are gender specific. The Celebrate Recovery programme is tried and tested and is both practical and biblical. This programme has been instrumental in releasing and healing many thousands of people, worldwide and in helping them to find a new life that is worth living.

Do I have to have a drug or alcohol problem to attend Celebrate Recovery?

Not at all. All kinds of issues or problems are addressed at Celebrate Recovery

Some examples of other issues are low self-esteem, childhood abuse, inability to say "no," pornography, loneliness, loss of parent, divorce, wayward child, financial loss, and anger.

Do I need to attend H Church to be a part of Celebrate Recovery?

Absolutely not. You are welcome to attend any open Celebrate Recovery events if you are 18 years old or older, regardless of your church attendance.

What is an Open Share Group?

Open Share Groups are opportunities for you to meet with others of your same sex dealing with issues just like you. The leaders of the group will direct the sharing and may give you a topic to respond to. These groups always remain open to new attendees and are different from Step Study Groups.

What are the 12 Steps and 8 Recovery Principles?

The 12 steps refers to guidelines established by Alcoholics Anonymous for realising your problem, dealing with it, and following through with change.

The 8 Recovery Principles are based on the Beatitudes in Matthew and were written by Pastor Rick Warren of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California. They are Bible-based guidelines for recovery from any habit, hurt, or addiction.

What is a Step Study Group?

Step Study Groups use the 12 steps and 8 Recovery Principles as their foundation, along with the Life Recovery Bible, to work through each step in a group setting. Participants are asked to purchase workbooks and attend weekly same-sex small group meetings. Such topics covered in the workbook lessons include denial, forgiveness, and grace. These groups remain open to new members until the 4th step.

Do I have to talk in an Open Share Group if I don't want to?

You are not required to share in an Open Share Group setting nor are you called on to answer questions. If you join a Step Study Group, however, you would be expected to complete the workbook lessons and share your answers to workbook questions.

Will my comments be kept confidential?

Absolutely! ALL participants are required to remember that anything shared within the group must stay within the group. It is very important that each attendee feel comfortable and free to share about his or her situation.
