Alcohol and Chemical Dependency (Men and Women’s Groups)

If you find that you cannot quit drinking or using even when you honestly want to, or if you have little control over the amount you consume, you are probably an alcoholic or an addict.  If that is the case, you may be suffering with a problem that only a spiritual solution will conquer. Come join us on the Road to Recovery and healing.

Alcoholic and Chemically Dependent Definition:

In order to obtain sobriety I need to abstain from alcohol or a chemical addiction in all its forms one day at a time and continue to apply the recovery steps and principles.

I will stop relying on dysfunctional, compulsive, and addictive behaviors as a temporary “fix” for my pain.

I will apply the biblical principles of conviction, conversion, surrender, confession, restitutions, prayer, quiet time, witnessing, and helping one another, which are found within the 8 recovery Principles and the Christ centered 12 steps.

Celebrate Recovery does not promise to solve your life’s problems. But it can show you how to:

• Work through the 8 Recovery Principles found in the Beatitudes. With Jesus Christ as your Higher Power, you can and will change!

• Live without drinking or using one day at a time with the help of the Higher Power, Jesus Christ.

• Experience the true peace and serenity you have been seeking.

• Learn to stop relying on dysfunctional, compulsive, and addictive behaviors as a temporary “fix” for pain.

• Apply the biblical principles of conviction, conversion, surrender, confession, restitution, prayer, quiet time, witnessing, and helping one another, which are found within the 8 Recovery Principles and the Christ-centered 12 Steps.

• Learn to develop healthy, Christian relationships and break through denial and other unhealthy family patterns.

• Give & receive encouragement from the group to find peace, strength and grace through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

• Face my denial and accept the truth about my life, and my past issues.

• Realize that blaming others, trying to control or ignore their behavior, refusing to set and uphold my own personal boundaries, are all signs of my addiction.

• Accept responsibility for my own actions and make Jesus the Lord of my life.

• Realize I am not responsible for others addiction or their recovery. It is not my job to “cure” them.

• Find healthy ways to release my fears and anger and refuse to use anger inappropriately towards anyone including myself.

• Have a safe place to share fears, hurt or anger and also to rejoice in victories.

• Face my own defects and work through these feelings. Take the focus off of  others and focus on God and my own thoughts and feelings.

When life becomes impossible and passes into the region from which there is no return through human resources, there are but two alternatives:

The first is to go on to the bitter end, blotting out the consciousness of our intolerable situation as best we could.

The second is to accept Jesus Christ as our Higher Power…

We chose to accept Jesus Christ!
