How CR Works...
- Each person will be placed in a small support group with people recovering from the same type of challenge(s).
- These Small Groups are led by trained, compassionate adults.
- Every individual is expected to commit to the following small group guidelines:
- Keep your sharing focused on your own thoughts, feelings, and actions. Please limit your sharing to 3-5 minutes.
- There is no cross talk please. Cross talk is when two people engage in a dialogue during the meeting. Each person is free to express feelings without interruptions.
- We are here to support one another. We will not attempt to "fix" another.
- Anonymity and Confidentiality are basic requirements. What's shared in the group stays in the group.*
- Offensive language has no place in a Christ-centered recovery group, this includes graphic descriptions.

Do you wish people would mind their own business about your drinking, using, eating or spending? Has it caused trouble at home or work? If you cannot guit, or if you have little control over the amount you use, drink, eat or spend, and it takes priority over your ability to make decisions, work, live in the real world, relate to others, and be close to God, this group is for you. Have you ever felt paralyzed by fear and worry due to life situations? Do you lack confidence in yourself or your abilities? Do you place little value on your opinions and ideas, or always focus on your faults and weaknesses? Is your life so tightly wrapped up in another's that yourr life's focus is on fixing them, protecting them, or pleasing them? Do you compulsively over eat or starve yourself? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this group is for you. This group is a good starting place for people just entering into recovery. Our subjects include anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and identifying specific areas of recovery. As women, love, sex and relationship addiction is unique. You use others, sex, and relationships to alter your mood and to relieve emotional pain. You have the tendency to trade sex for "love" and to leave one relationship for another because you believe that being in a relationship makes you whole. You often mistake intensity for intimacy by having drama-driven relationships. For you, true intimacy SEEMS impossible. You have learned to numb your feelings by creating an unhealthy use of love, sex, and relationships to cope with your feelings of inadequacy, lack of trust, depression, isolation, and to avoid rejection and abandonment. If you identify with any of this, or have a sexually addicted husband, this group is for you. This group is for women whose self worth is diminished, due to the lasting traumatic effects of abuse. The result is people-pleasing and the detrimental effects of always putting others before self and causing more abuse. This group would also include wives of husbands who are chemically addicted or have anger issues. This is a healing journey for women who have had an abortion. After abortion, many women struggle with guilt, depression, nightmares, shame, sorrow and suicidal thoughts, even years after the event. We offer a safe and confidential place to find healing, forgiveness, an freedom through Bible study and a support group setting.

Do you wish people would mind their own business about your drinking and/or using? Has your drinking or using caused trouble at home, work or school?
