Celebrate Recovery Small Groups CAN:
• Provide you a safe place to share your experiences, strengths, and hopes with
others that are also going through a Christ-centered recovery.
• Provide you with a leader who has gone through a similar hurt, hang-up or habit
and who will facilitate the group as it focuses on a particular Step each week.
The leader will also follow Celebrate Recovery’s “Small Group Guidelines,”
listed below.
• Provide you with the opportunity to find an Accountability Partner or a Sponsor.
• Encourage you to attend other recovery meetings held throughout the week.
Celebrate Recovery Small Groups Will NOT:
• Attempt to offer any professional advice. Our leaders are not counselors. At your
request, we can provide you with a list of approved counseling referrals.
• Allow its members to attempt to “fix” one another.
Small Group Guidelines
-
Keep your sharing focused on your own thoughts and feelings. Limit your
sharing to three to five minutes.
- There will be NO cross talk. Cross talk is when two individuals engage in
conversation excluding all others. Each person is free to express his or her
feelings without interruptions.
- We are here to support one another, not “fix” one another.
- Anonymity and confidentiality are basic requirements. What is shared in the
group stays in the group. The only exception is when someone threatens to injure
themselves or others.
- Offensive language has no place in a Christ-centered recovery group.
Chemically Dependent
Individual groups for men and women
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
Individual groups for men and women
This group is for those struggling with the compulsion to rescue and take care of
others, 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
Individual group for women
This group is for those who have endured past physical, sexual and/or emotional
abuse. Recovery includes healing from the traumas done to us at sometime in our
past, as well as healing from the influence these past experiences continue to have
on our lives.
Adult Children of Family Dysfunction
Individual groups for men (formerly Adult Children of Alcoholics)
The family problem of alcoholism made us “co-victims”—those who take on the
characteristics of the alcoholic without necessarily ever taking a drink. Choosing to
recognize and exit the modeled behaviors of alcoholism is the beginning of
recovery for the ACFD.
Sexual Addiction
Individual groups for men and women
Support group for those seeking 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
Individual groups for women
This recovery group’s purpose is to learn a new way of living. The Eating Disorder
group addresses Anorexia and Bulimia. The Food Addiction group addresses
compulsive overeating and those on the diet roller coaster. We have learned, 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.
Women’s Love and Relationship Addiction
This group deals with Romance and Relationship Addiction only, and provides a
safe place to deal with the depression, isolation, lack of trust, and the unhealthy use
of love and relationships as a means of achieving worth.
Codependent Women in a Relationship
with a Sexually Addicted Man
Sexual addiction and its causes are largely unknown to most people. This group not only
provides support, but also helps women seek an understanding of their own personal
issues. Codependents can then confront their own denial and behavior while gaining
insight and understanding of their spouse’s sexual addiction.
Recovery from Anger
Individual groups for men and women
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.
Financial Recovery
Individual groups for men and women
This group is designed to help you, with God’s power, gain financial freedom from
your debts so you can start managing your finances God’s way. In addition, the core
hurts, habits, and hang-ups that have caused the financial trouble and stolen the
serenity and joy that God has intended, will be overcome.
Same Sex Attraction
Individual men’s group
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.
