Welcome to Celebrate Recovery!

For those of you who have never been with us before....WELCOME! Celebrate Recovery (CR) is a Jesus Christ-based, 12 step program to provide support to you regardless of your issues. We are a ministry of First Baptist Dallas and are proud to be part of a larger group that truly does care for your well-being.

Please take a moment to check out all of our information on the left of your screen. If you can't find what you're looking for, then please feel free to email us at pastoralmin@firstdallas.org; or feel free to publish a post and I can get back with you.

So what issues do we deal with at CR? Those who have joined us so far have dealt with some of the following:
- codependency
- sexual addiction
- eating disorders
- alcohol/chemical dependency
- depression/anxiety
- emotional abandonment
-sexual/physical/verbal abuse
- and the list just goes on...

The beautiful thing about CR is that the program is for any and all hurts, habits or hang-ups. We acknowledge that healing comes from a Higher Power....the Higher Power Himself, Jesus Christ. It is through a relationship with Him that we can find our way to recovery. The 12 steps that we use are tools to help us grow in our relationship withe Jesus. The steps help us evaluate our life and offer us solutions to make us well. Again, the 12 steps are not a magical formula and will not work if you don't grasp the relational aspect of this program. If you think about recovery in these terms, then you can easily say that everyone could be in recovery for something.

Aren't you tired of pretending that you have everything under control and that everything is okay? We do not have to pretend anymore. There is a place for us to come forward and admit that we have been hurt and feel stuck. Come check us out and I promise you that we won't embarrass you or call you out. We won't judge you either because we've all been where you're at right now. It's hard work, but God does promise us freedom and wholeness.

See you on Wednesday.
