Small Groups
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.”
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 approved counseling referrals.
Allow its members to attempt to “fix” one another.
Here is a brief explanation of the Open Share groups we offer:
WOMEN’S GROUPS:
Drug/Alcohol Addiction
If you find that you cannot quit drinking or using drugs 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
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.
Recovery from Anger
This recovery group is for 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. The group focuses on managing a God-given emotion in constructive ways.
Physical/Emotional and Sexual Abuse
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.
MEN’S GROUPS:
Drug/Alcohol Addiction
If you find that you cannot quit drinking or using drugs 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.
Sexual Addiction/Sexual Purity
Support group for those seeking recovery from lust, pornography 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.
Recovery from Anger
This recovery group is for men 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. The group focuses on managing a God-given emotion in constructive ways.
