THE PROBLEM

We are codependent because we allow the behavior of another person to effect our behavior so that we become consumed with that person and their problems. This obsession with the issues and problems of others becomes debilitating to us as we exhaust inordinate and inappropriate amounts of mental and emotional energy over them, leaving little, if any, energy for ourselves.

THE SOLUTION

We don’t have to live this way! We do have a choice. We can live free of these obligatory compulsions. Through God’s help we can learn to take responsibility for our own lives and allow others to take responsibility for theirs. With Jesus Christ as our Higher Power we learn how to apply the 8 Recovery Principles and 12 Steps, designed to guide us through the journey we call “Recovery.”

God provides us with tools and a will to do what we once thought impossible. We begin to see relationships restored, old animosities put to rest and lives pieced back together. We learn to take daily inventory that we might continue to walk in truth, light and freedom. Most importantly, we can draw closer to God than ever before. We are being used by Him to share our lives and God’s miracles with others that they might experience the hope and healing that we have experienced.

THE PROBLEM

When you are honest with yourself, do you find you cannot quit drinking or using drugs entirely? Do you have little control over the amount you consume? You are probably an alcoholic and/or an addict.

THE SOLUTION

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

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

Stay away from that first drink. If there isn’t a first one, there cannot be a tenth one. And when free of alcohol, life becomes much more manageable, with Christ’s power.

Experience the true peace and serenity you have been seeking.

Restore and develop stronger relationships with God and with others.

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.

Form an Accountability TEAM: Sponsor, Accountability Partners.

THE PROBLEM

All parents want their children to grow up to be happy, responsible adults. But, in spite of mom and dad’s best efforts, their most heartfelt prayers and loving environment, some kids never successfully make the transition to independent Adulthood.

THE SOLUTION

The acronym S.A.N.I.T.Y. explains success for Parents of Addicted children.

S  - Stop enabling, stop blaming yourself, and stop the flow of money.
A  - Assemble a support group.
N - Nip excuses in the bud.
I - Implement rules and boundaries.
T - Trust your instincts.
Y - Yield everything to God.

Celebrate Recovery’s definition for insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.

THE PROBLEM

Our lust began as an overpowering desire for pleasurable relief from an inner pain, emptiness or insecurity that we were not able to cope with in any other way. At first, it did provide the relief we sought. For a time, sex with ourselves or with others dissolved the tension, relieved the depression, resolved the conflict, and provided the means to deal with, or escape from life’s seemingly unbearable situations.

THE SOLUTION

1. Take Responsibility

2. Yield to God

3. Work with 12 Steps and Connect with Others.
We commit to working the 12 steps, to attend regularly, the celebrate recovery, meetings, and to getting an accountability partner and sponsor for our addiction. We identify triggers and avoid people, places, and things that tempt our addiction. We accept God's standards for our sexual purity and allow God total access to our minds, and we change our belief system towards our sexuality. We avoid crossover, addictions, including food, eating disorders, alcohol, and drugs, and we understand the root of each court issue, we identify with and become willing to experience grief, forgiveness, and acceptance.

Monday Nights - 6:00 PM

You probably don’t like the circumstances you are in, you may be deeply hurt by what has happened, and it’s likely you are feeling angry about your situation. You might even feel embarrassed about coming to the class. All of these emotions are normal. After a few sessions, you’ll begin to notice that you look forward to class. You will hear concepts that will help you heal from your separation or divorce. Our prayer is that you will heal and, in the process, develop a deepening relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

THE PROBLEM

We have experienced some form of abuse, which has damaged our emotions and identity in ways that continue to affect us. We have developed incorrect ideas about life and destructive ways of dealing with the pain. This is harmful to us emotionally and physically, and damages our relationships with others. We need healing from the traumas done to us. We also need healing from the influence these experiences continue to have in our present lives.

THE SOLUTION

By actually working through the Christ-centered 12 Steps and 8 Recovery Principles with Jesus Christ as our Higher Power, we can and will change. We experience the true peace and serenity we have been seeking when we admit we are powerless to heal ourselves from the effects of abuse and give our lives and our wills over to the care of God. It is only when we become dependent on God for our happiness, believing that His plan for us includes victory over the abuse, that we stop living and reliving the past and experience complete and lasting emotional healing.

Life after the Military does not always make sense. The loss of a sense of brotherhood and the loss of being part of something important and bigger than myself can lead to feelings of frustration, isolation, emptiness, boredom, anger, or loneliness. In an attempt to cope with the pain of these overwhelming emotions, sometimes veterans turn to unhealthy relationships, at-risk behaviors, or substance abuse.

Welcome Home is Celebrate Recovery's tool to help veterans stuck in hurts, hang-ups, and habits. Welcome Home is an Open Share Group for veterans led by veterans. Participants can recapture some of that sense of brotherhood and sense of mission, because every week they gather to discuss what is happening in their lives and to reach out to other veterans struggling with different hurts, hang-ups and habits.

Whether you served during peace time or war, if you experienced combat or never heard a shot fired in anger, all veterans are welcome at Welcome Home!
