This experience allows us to be changed.  We open the door by sharing our experiences, strengths, and hopes with one another. In addition, we become willing to accept God’s grace in solving our problems.

By working and applying these biblical principles, we begin to grow spiritually.

We become free from our addictive, compulsive, and dysfunctional behaviours.  This freedom from our hurts, hang-ups, and habits creates peace, serenity, joy, and most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with God and others.  As we progress through the program we discover our personal, loving and forgiving Higher Power – Jesus Christ.

Prayer of Serenity
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardship as a pathway to peace; taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will; so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next.
Amen
Reinhold Neibuhr
8 Principles
Eight Principles Based on the Beatitudes

1. R –  Realize I’m not God. I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and that my life is unmanageable.
 “Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor.”  (Matthew 5:3)
2. E – Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him, and that He has the power to help me recover.
“Happy are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.”  (Matthew 5:4)
3. C – Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ’s care and control.
“Happy are the meek.”  (Matthew 5:5)
4. O – Openly examine and confess my faults to myself, to God, and to someone I trust.
“Happy are the pure in heart.”  (Matthew 5:8)
5. V – Voluntarily submit to every change God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects.
“Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires.”  (Matthew 5:6)
6. E –  Evaluate all my relationships.  Offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I’ve done to others, except when to do so would harm them or others.
“Happy are the merciful.”  (Matthew 5:7)
“Happy are the peacemakers.”  (Matthew 5:9)
7. R – Reserve a daily time with God for self-examination, Bible reading, and prayer in order to know God and His will for my life and to gain the power to follow His will.
8. Y – Yield myself to God to be used to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and by my words.
“Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires.”  (Matthew 5:10)
When it is not possible to meet in physical groups
When it is not possible to meet in physical groups, there are things you can do to obtain and maintain your recovery.
  • Stay connected to your Sponsor, Sponsee and Accountability Partners.
  • Share over the phone
  • Pray for each other
  • Reach out to group members, call someone, even someone you recently met.
  • Celebrate Recovery® Official has Facebook, YouTube and Instagram with daily updates.  Every weeknight at 8 pm CST they are providing Live devotionals by National Team Leaders to encourage us through this trying time.
  • Be sure to spend time daily in the Word and in Worship.
Hurts, Hang-ups, Habits
• Hurts: Love, relational, physical, emotional, family with addiction, sexual abuse…
• Hang-ups: Co-dependency, anger, self-harm…
• Habits: Food, chemical, alcohol, sexual addiction…
Open Share Group Guidelines
  1. Keep your sharing focused on your own thoughts and feelings.  Limit your sharing to three to five minutes.
  2. There is 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 without interruptions.
  3. We are here to support one another, not “fix” another.
  4. Anonymity and confidentiality are basic requirements.  What is shared in the group stays in the group.  The only exception is when someone threatens to injure themselves or others.
  5. Offensive language has no place in a Christ-centered recovery group.
