SHOW NOTES:
On this show….we are striving to embrace growth through recovery as we set out to reclaim YOU. We are embarking on a profound journey of self-discovery and transformation. It requires courage, resilience, and a willingness to ebrace change. Are you ready? Oh boy, that’s the question. How many times have you found yourself at a crossroads knowing you need to make a change but unsure about the next step? What to do and if you are capable enough to do it. Let’s first define recovery: a return to a normal state of health, mind, or strength. The action or process of regaining possession or control of something stolen or lost. What has been stolen or lost? We can all dig into our bag of regrets to find something we wish we could undo and to regain something we no longer have. By focusing on personal growth and self-empowerment, you can reclaim your authentic self and create a life that is meaningful and fulfilling.
So that’s our aim. We are looking to regain our sense of self through discovery and awareness. Your recovery journey is personal but you shouldn’t go it alone. In fact, in my mind, it’s the second step - reach out for help after the first, surrendering to the idea that you aren’t able to do it alone.
News flash, if unhealthy habits were easy to overcome our human statistics would look a lot different. Celebrate Recovery broadens their reach by addressing HURTS, HABITS, AND HANGUPS in their 12-step program offered in 20,000 churches around the world. CR adds the Spirit to the mix to help heal people suffering from addiction and abuse.
The program addresses not just alcoholism and drug addiction, but also codependency, depression, eating disorders, gambling, sexual addiction, and sexual abuse.
A “hurt” could be classified as any life experience that may have damaged your heart, some offense against you that crippled your ability to deal with the world in a healthy way.
“Habits” tend to be unhealthy patterns that often start as a perceived “remedy” for some problem in your life, but end up turning into a chronic bad behavior or addiction. Habits are the repeat, default scripts you run to when the going gets tough and continually leads to trouble in your life.
“Hang-ups” are those roadblocks that keep you from progressing further in God’s plan for your life. They are often shaped by some bent thinking you may have received as a child, or some unhealthy attitude you may have adopted as a means of coping with life’s challenges.
If you’re interested in checking them out…you can Google Celebrate Recovery programs in your area to find meeting times and places.
Maybe, you’re just at the beginning stages of understanding where you are in your life in order to come to terms with the potential of making a change….HEY, that’s a starting point so keep listening!
