welcome to celebrate recovery at cla

A program for anyone dealing with life’s hurts, habits and hang-ups. Although Celebrate Recovery does offer help with addictions, its not the sole focus of the program. Many people seek help with other life struggles and even codependency through Celebrate Recovery.

  • This group is for those struggling with 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.

  • 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 addict. If that is the case, you may be suffering from a problem that only a spiritual solution will conquer. Addictions can include things that are not chemicals too— This group also includes members who want help with sexual addictions, food addictions and relationship addictions.

  • If you have other hurts, habits or hang-ups that aren’t covered in the first two groups, then “Life Struggles” group is for you. Anger, financial hardship, relational dysfunction are just a few of the areas represented in the Life Struggle’s group. These groups focus on managing God-given emotions in constructive ways.

Celebrate Recovery Small Groups Will NOT…

— Attempt to offer any professional advice. Our leaders are not counselors.

— Allow its members to attempt to “fix” one another.

small group guidelines

—Anonymity and confidentiality are basic requirements. What is shared in the group stays in the group. The only exception is when someone threatens bodily harm.

—Keep your sharing focused on your own thoughts and feelings. Limit your sharing to 3-5 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.

—We’re here to support one another, not “FIX” one another.

—Offensive language has no place in a Christian-centered recovery group.
