Hello I'm from Fayetteville AR and have been working CR for 6 months. Thank you for this program and thanks to God I found it.
I am trying to quit drinking . Thank you so much for these online . They are a blessing
Start having a hatred for the wealthy alcohol companies that get rich of people by boycotting their products as your small contribution on ruining them... So the next time you get the urge to drink, just think about this and get real pissed off on those fk'ers and tell them they will NOT get your money... Instead, do better things with your money... Also, do some research on the bad effects of alcohol, and then think about your future... Remember, we got this one life, so make the best of it and live long, healthy & happy.
I am thankful for the lessons
I attend celebrate recovery and I was clean for a year and 3 months I would say and then I relapsed that only lasted a couple of months and then I tried to straighten up that took a couple more months so I went and got put on Suboxone. Now I'm trying to get off of Suboxone it's been a rough time and I really would appreciate it if you guys pray for me I am starting tomorrow morning going to try to begin to submit things to God the best way I know how. If that don't work I'm going to rehab. Thank you all for your prayers God bless you
Will pray!
Hey guys, ill be virtually honest and say i used to attend a group here where i live....i quit attending because of the lesson one subject. I felt unsafe and isolated out by other members of the group & when i was spoken to, i felt like they had been spying on my life. I was homeless and vulnerable. Then atop that, i was stil using my DOC as a tool. Not much has changed since then for the better,i still struggle and now ive got so many "new" barriers that i cannot deal with. I cannot keep using. I need recovery. I need a group. So thankful to be chrome casting these lessons. Its day one for this guy, thankyou for accepting my choice to be here, i really pray that these chains dissappear...i just want to think clearly again.
Sincerely,
Scott "Kansas" Sanders
I hope youre doing well Scott
I encourage you to check out another CR or recovery meeting! Don’t let those people stop you from the gifts of recovery that God wants you to have! God bless you!
Glad to have you watching I'm Tiffany a grateful believer in Jesus Christ and I celebrate recovery of her homelessness meth addiction cycles of toxic relationships cycles of abuse cycles of in and out of celebrate recovery I can honestly say that not all CRS are the same I would absolutely love to have you here at one of ours locally here in Oklahoma what they say at the beginning of each meeting keep coming back it works if you work it it is so true and here's why it's true because it works if you work it but you need to work it because you're worth it. Whenever I was at my peak of addiction I would be in and out of Sierra all the time sometimes I wouldn't even get to shower for 3 or 4 days maybe more depending on the week everybody knew that I was still using even though I was trying to play dumb and say I was sober I say this maybe give it another shot
This has been a blessing to listen to the CR lessons and be a part of the program in Winnipeg. Thanks to Church of the Rock!
I just heard about RC from my Son. We are both recovering alcoholics. By the Grace of GOD!!!
Thank you for a great lesson! I've been in AA for more than 15 years and blessed with sobriety through God's grace since October 31, 2008. I loved how you pointed out early in the video that the steps or meetings are not what gets us sober or freedom from whatever hurt, habit or hangup. It's the path to God to a solution to what is blocking us from God. The steps cleared the way for me and I rededicated my life to Jesus Christ in November 2008. I'm grateful for AA, but my heart is calling me to Celebrate Recovery more and more every day. I'm preparing to sell my house and move to the Philippines some where I can attend a Celebrate Recovery group or start one. Does anyone reading this know of Celebrate Recovery in the Philippines? Salamat!
Today is 11/15/23; this is my first time attending CR. I’ve been active in Al-Anon for about a year. I need more. I believe CR will be beneficial. Thank you.
Today is Easter Sunday 2024 I read the powerless lesson now we can listen to what y'all got to say about powerlessness
Thank you so much for the lessons C.R. They are so helpful. I am a recovered alcoholic. I have been to tons of aa programs and mettings. Unfortunately they didn't work. I found this program and noticed it uses the same 12 steps that aa uses. The difference here is in Jesus Christ. I graduated from C.R. in the church I used to attend. I had to move to Charlotte N.C. and I dont have a church or a group anymore, this is why I am so thankful to continue and follow the lessons again since I don't have a group. I will check the website to see if I find a group by my area. Thank you so much again. I liked the way the speaker taught the lesson. Today I'm one year and two months sober. For the first time in my life I have been sober this long. Thank to our God. Thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ 🙏🙏
It is a great lesson
Iam working on my sobriety
Wow, this is wonderfull
I'm in South Africa and its wonderful that CR is now on video. Thank you ❤
I read Romans 7 the other day and felt convicted. Today I surrendered after listening to lesson 1. I'm going to watch all 25. Thank you and God bless you 🙏 ❤
It is January 27, 2023 a Friday night at Evangel's Church for Celebrate Recovery and I just received my 20 year coin of being alcohol free - and staying sober - and saying 'NO' - - WHOOHOO!!! I am gonna stop here for THAT VICTORY. I might collect coins for other addictions, but for this alcohol one - I FEEL LIKE I GRADUATED BIG-TIME!!! My next testimony night is going to be on February 6th, 2023 at the Westside Kelowna's Celebrate Recovery in Emmanuel Church. Please pray for me during this time of sharing, thanks my GOD-GIVEN FAMILY, much appreciated!
I am a long time member of Celebrate Recovery. While I am Blessed to have come a long way . But leading a group through the Steps for first time .
I am receiving so much from these Lessons . My Recovery still has a long ways to go . Hope to fuel and direct it through this process .
Finding that helping others through these Steps is helping me more than I thought possible. But who am I kidding . I have been the recipient of so many & so much from HIM already that what I am doing is offering myself up to HIM again knowing that HE will carry me as HE has done in the past.
Thank YOU , JESUS.

I too struggle with codependency and am an adult child of dysfunction. I’m so thankful to have found this RUclips. I started working on the four pack of study guides yesterday. Hearing lessons from an experienced perspective is very helpful. Thank you.
Can’t wait to check out the online Wednesday, noon CR meeting! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for posting these on RUclips
Wow loneliness that hit me like a rock that's one my major issues right now!
I'm familiar with most recovery modalities. Been to them ALL.
Attended every kind of meeting out there! Yours is one of the only ones left. Looking forward to figuring out your approach
Thank you for posting these lessons!! It is such a blessing in my life at this moment!
So blessed you are sharing these lessons! Thank you!
I love you guys thanks so much
This is absolutely awesome. I just found this channel and I don’t even know if it’s a channel I just found you and I just found that there is a meeting in my area in a church after going to two AA meetings and just feeling strange there because I want to praise the Lord iamb a god girl I belong to him and I’m sorry but just a higher power is not a living God and I serve the living God, so I found celebrate recovery. I actually purchased a book at the Bible store and I was reading from it as well as a recovery devotional and my life is changed in a week and now I found this and I’m gonna find my meeting and I am. Head over heels at his feet like a child, powerless and happy about it because here’s the thing I knew God since 2005, but I was still in control of my life so anyways thank you for this. Keep going in all that you do. God bless you
Hi from the Philippines,
Man, this is exactly what I needed to hear...thank you, God is good.
We also have a CR in the Philippines and it's fantastic!
Hello Kuya! I'm moving to the Philippines and trying to connect with Celebrate Recovery there. What Province are you in?
Thank you so much! I am at the bottom of the barrel. Lesson 1 and 2 may just save my life.
I found your pamphlet for men who have been victims of abuse after Googling this lesson. I am not a fan of this step. I get the concept behind it, but as someone who has been victimized my entire life, powerless is something I've been most of my life and I hate it. In my experience power is something that has always been held over me, and used to victimize me. I left CR because I was victimized by someone who I trusted at the meeting. The thing about a "safe space" is that it's only as safe as the least safe person there.
Sorry to hear that :( I've been abused and I've wanted to attend CR. Did it help even a little bit?
@@itsjuicenotwine there is a lot of good in Celebrate Recovery. It's just not for me individually. It's a "your mileage may vary" kind of thing. There can be a lot of compassion in that community.
@@vindicated30.6 oh i see, thank you for letting me know ^_^
I’m checking your program out. This is the second video I am watching. Thank you for your ministry
Thank you so much!! Truly blessed and edified by CR!!
Thank you for sharing
Hello John and Jen. I and my wife host CR at our church in Wickenburg, AZ. We are trying to bring glory to God through the program.
I'm in Liverpool city and we have a celebrate recovery it's hard but worth working it
Thank u so much. Denial was awesome just started listening today
Hi I am Kinni was referred by friend from Richfield UT
Suffer from.complex PTSD and life long depression
Good lesson!
I am a recovering food addict and I am so blessed by your lessons! Thank you! Going to a CR group this next week!
I used to have this Oriental couple that moved to Lake Nona, Florida from China... He works as a scientist in Medical City, and his wife is in college.... I remember him telling me that the key to long life is "food reduction"... He said to never eat until your full and always be a little hungry after meals... Also, "fasting" is key to longevity also, and it can prevent cancer too.... and STAY AWAY FROM SUGAR!!!!!!! I did some research on this, so this guy was right... They moved out when they discovered she was pregnant and they wanted to get their own place... I do miss them.
WARNING: This is very long and I’m just rambling I guess. If you don’t like long comments I would skip this. Not to mention it’s not positive so if that’s what you’re looking for, this comment isn’t it either! Either way, have a great night and happy thanksgiving!!!
34:23- I hear this at the CR meetings I go to also. And my comment pretty much covers a lot of what you said in this video and the other two I’ve already watched! But I remember when I started CR I was constantly told that “you are not alone. Other people feel, live and act like you do. Everyone does these things and we’re going to show you how to fix it”! But the more I learned and listen and go to CR the more I’m realizing I am alone! I am different!!! No, at no point (in what I can remember of my life) have I ever thought I was the star! I have thought that if my life was a movie or a book sales are going to be BAD! I wouldn’t even want to see or read it!!! I’ve had deep depression since I was around 13 years old and back then I cared more about others than I ever did about myself (but by that point I was already realizing that because of my disability’s I was NEVER going to be as good, as smart, as good looking, as loved and as special as everyone else. So yeah, I guess it wasn’t a high bar to get over)! I tried to help in anyway I could… every time! And all I did was just put their weight onto my shoulders. And every time I went out on a lim for someone else, they knocked me down! It took me many many years for me to finally realize it but I eventually came to the conclusion that I can’t trust anyone! And the actions of others proves me right every day!!! There is no human that I trust 100%! Even my ex wife of almost 10 years never passed 85% trust!!! And the word that proves I was right again that I couldn’t trust her is the “ex” part! I am 41 years old now and have only known depression! And throughout those years there has been many attempts to find God and to be healed by his love (shortest time span was around 6 months of trying and the longest was over 4 years! This time I’m about to hit 3 years and I’m only going down)! But I find it very hard to continue when I feel like I’m only being ignored. My life only gets harder and harder and worse and worse every day and I feel like God has turned from me a long time ago. I don’t remember where I’ve heard this from but I remember being told that I need to love my life and my scars and the lessons they taught me to find peace……… I guess if that’s true, I will never find peace! I hate my life, my past, I hate all my scars and the only lessons I’ve learned from each one is in no way positive! I love God! I truly believe that he is the creator of all things. But I’m just waiting for it to be over!!! Sooner rather than later!
Thank you for your vulnerability. What a gift. I’m sorry for your pain. Some people do have a harder road to travel. You only need a mustard sized seed of faith. And during seasons when you don’t have that faith, Jesus’ faith is enough. He is faithful. Habakkuk is my soul friend. He values hope. Heaven is worth it.
You have my son's story I'm a recovered alcoholic addict works better if you study the word I have been getting a lot out of listening to teachers online and studying the word that way when they place it on the screen and explain it I have had a terrific experience and encounters with the Holy Spirit and spiritual life and my trust and love for God to show me his glory just keep learning the word it is working for me 25 years in alcoholics anonymous got better relax save me but I didn't do the underlying pain and hurts from family of origin prayer online with teachers encounters with the Holy Spirit an increased faith and and refresh Spirit tomorrow I stay in the word an online with my my scriptures and😊 I pray more stay in prayer go deeper in prayer I can't get enough and got to show me his glory my desires have changed I don't even want to watch TV or goes back to AA anymore just was looking up see her but the best and easiest way is to stay and be in the word and what helps me is because I can't read while I can't see well and with videos and it's like going to church with the greatest evangelist and teachers and pastors of today's Christianity it's just about Jesus Christ and how to have a relationship close to God I have felt him so close and so near I can't I have a fear of how powerful he is his love and nearness is amazing that is the way I am working at the last few months it is amazing all I want to do is talk about my experience and talk about God and Jesus everywhere I go! I've had a tough time dealing with mental illness and suicide that I did not know was in my family bloodline what are mindsets check out David diga Hernandez on RUclips when I listen to any speaker or pastor I'm even listening whoever is on the TV at the moment I just can't get enough of knowing God's word in the power as I'm learning it not really trying to memorize it the holy spirit this is putting it in my heart when I need to know or when I need to remember it or hear it at the right time the Holy Spirit has all the power is getting to know God with the Holy Spirit help in power! David diga is where I started that came up online he teaches how to change the holy spirit's presence he teaches how to push past starting to read the word or in my case listening to the word and reading it on the screen online with a there is many awesome ones! God does work through the internet trust me praying online with other Christians around the world and the teacher I am finding my past I felt different my whole life too and everybody I am learning nowthat is why God chooses us I don't feel alone anymore when I am alone and when I'm in prayer I don't get depressed anymore I have hope for more to come please give it a shot and I promise that's where the power is in the word and after a short amount of time it doesn't boring in fact it gets better and better because the more you read it the more the holy spirit gives you understanding of what you're reading applies it to your life David diga teaches how to do that I would start with him I grew up in Catholic school Bible study was so boring how to find I asked God what does it mean to seek and you shall find? And 6 years after I was baptized and after I started and kept drinking again for depression I went to a lot of pain I got beat up a lot I have been homeless but I have just been saved and it had to happen as Steven furtick says I had an encounter and it was Jesus Christ and my Revelation 6 years later was God had led me to that church I got baptized in the Holy Spirit heard me when I was thinking what does it mean to seek and you shall find?

Hi debhy from alberta canada😊
Hi just checking out videos. I would love to attend a live meeting but my car laid up.. I am enabling wife of functional alcoholic. I have codependency tendencies as well. My marriage at crossroads as AH feels his drinking is no big deal but yet second breath admitted his frequency has increased. I have been on this hamster wheel for 10 years. He knows his alcohol consumption triggers me and my daughter.. I know I am powerless.. I've begged I've pleaded for him to get help.. yes he attended AA but he still was drinking.. I've accepted the fact although I love my husband and care for him I can not loose myself to his addiction.

I never did drugs, nor to I smoke or drink, but I did experience bad relationships with women, so that's my problem... I've remained single for 2 years now just focusing on myself... I wonder if that qualifies something to recover from.
Absolutely. Check out the characteristics for codependency. It’s more common than you may think.
