Celebrate Recovery uses the 12 Steps and its related Scripture as the biblical model for living your life. A Step Study is a personal journey though each of these steps in a confidential group lead by a facilitator who has completed a study.
We use Celebrate Recovery's four participants books as we progress through them in group. When you finish walking out the steps in the study you will have worked your hurts, habits, and hang-ups through each step. A Step Study is a long-term commitment to the members of the group. It will typically take 7 to 9 months to complete the study. The groups remain open to new members joining them through the first study guide. From Step Book Study Guide 2 on they close off and no additional newcomers are allow. After completing the Step Study, we hope you will join with us as we minister to others dealing with their hurts, habits and hang-ups.
Our Step Study groups generally take place on a different night so as to
not diminish the importance the Large Open Share and Small Gender and Specific Issue Groups have as a vital element in every participant's recovery experience
to avoid robbing new participants of opportunities for ministry and outreach.
Do you struggle with depression? Do you feel like you are " stuck" in life? People struggling with depression often feel as if they have no choices or alternatives and can't see that there are solutions to their problems. Sometimes people suffering with depression feel like things will never be any better no matter what they or anybody else does about it. They often feel shame and blame and anger, and often feel worthless and powerless. They often conclude that everything in life is hopeless. The result is they spiral down and become more and more depressed.
All this is a lie! The truth is..... there is hope!
Celebrate Recovery offers lasting hope and healing from depression. The help offered by Celebrate Recovery is spiritual, and it starts with turning one’s life and will over to the care and control of Jesus Christ. We finally stop running from our depression and acknowledge that we have a problem that we have not been able to get under control. We come to recognize that Jesus Christ is our loving Higher Power, and He will provide all the resources needed to overcome our issues with depression.
Through attending weekly Celebrate Recovery meetings learn how to:
identify the underlying causes of our depression
appropriate God’s power in eliminating them
view life in a healthy and productive way
forgive those who have hurt us
make amends to all the people we have hurt
change our focus from ourselves to others.
The result? Lasting freedom and permanent victory.
Over the years many people struggling with depression have gone through Celebrate Recovery program with incredible results. Celebrate Recovery has a success rate much higher than conventional recovery programs. Why not give it a try? I AM.
Make a decision today to make a positive and everlasting change for the better.

Current life's struggles are weighing me down, past failures are holding me back. I am running from depression, unworthiness, perfectionism, people pleasing, insecurity, lies, abuse, loss, anger, anxiety, divorce, materialism and various other skeletons in my closet.
But I do not want to run anymore because I am starting to fall. I am a mom, a wife, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a friend ... I cannot fall anymore! Above all else I am a Christian. I am ready for these chains to be broken.
I am beginning my celebration of recovery. I am attending Celebrate Recovery this week for the first time. As a writer I began this blog to share my process with you. I pray that others will follow in support and I pray that others will come to find that they are ready for their chains to be broken too!
Feel free to pray, comment, subscribe and e-mail (mycelebrationofrecovery@yahoo.com)
This is me bringing my hurts, habits, and hang-ups to Christ and seeking His healing through the recovery process. Join me as I work through the steps and submit to Him.
