What is so Great About Celebrate Recovery?

One of the greatest things about Celebrate Recovery (CR) is the fact that is for anything.  You don't have to have a drug problem though many come to it for that very reason.  You don't have to have an alcohol problem though many come for that, too.  You don't have to have a sexual addiction though a surprising number come for that.  You can have a marriage problem which almost anyone married has.  You could have an eating addiction or disorder which is a lot more common than you realize.  You could suffer from co-dependency which I’m finding most people have.  You could have a hurt from your childhood or past relationships which I think everyone does to some degree.  You might have issues with your children which any parent does at some stage of their childhood.  You might have a bad habit of stealing.  Or you have just plain old pride that gets in everyone's way.  That hits every single person.  Anyone could benefit from CR because all it is doing is trying to get to the root of your problems and get your walk with Christ right.

What more could you ask for?  It helps to clean out the junk in your life and cleans out those rooms that we lock away and try to look at because they are so disgusting.  But the house will never be clean because the mold and mildew will spread to the other rooms quietly and deadly.  We have to bleach those rooms by allowing God to come in and clean it all out.  He is the ultimate housekeeper.  You don’t have to worry about anything getting missed if you are truly letting Him clean it all out.  CR is one of those tools to do just that.

Our group is growing as more and more realize that CR is for all of life's problems.  We have many with drug and alcohol problems but even they are discovering that that is not their real problems.  They have to go much deeper.  We are celebrating just a week or two of some people not cutting themselves.  We celebrate those “small” victories, because they are not small.  They are huge.  Any day that someone can go through and conquer their demons is a celebration.  Any day they cannot conquer is a day of prayer and support.

I highly suggest that you take a look at the material of CR.  You will be surprised and you will find that you might need this wonderful Bible study that goes so much further than normal studies.
