You can experience freedom from your hurts, hang-ups, and habits. Regardless of what you are struggling with - whether it's emotional, financial, relational, spiritual, or sexual, the principles that lead to happiness and healing are always the same, and the choice is always yours.
We've all been hurt by other people, we've hurt ourselves, and we've hurt others. As a result, every single one of us ends up with some sort of hurt, hang-up, or habit. But the question we all face is: Where do we go from here?
God offers the promise of true happiness, life transformation, and freedom when we make the eight healing choices discussed in Celebrate Recovery. Through making each of these choices, you too will find God's pathway to wholeness, growth, spiritual maturity, happiness, and healing. You'll find real answers, real hope, and a real future - one healing choice at a time.
The Road to Recovery - Eight Healing Choices
- 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.
- Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him and that He has the power to help me recover.
- Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ's care and control.
- Openly examine and confess my faults to myself, to God, and to someone I trust.
- Voluntarily submit to any and all changes God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove all of my character defects.
- Evaluate all my relationships. Offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I've done to others when possible, except when to do so would harm them or others.
- Reserve a 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.
- Yield myself to God to be used to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and my words.
