1. Keep your sharing focused on your own
thoughts and feelings. Limit your sharing to three to five minutes.
2. There will be NO cross talk. Cross talk is when two individuals engage in
conversation, excluding all others. Each person is free to express his or her
feelings without interruptions.
3. We are here to support one another, not “fix” one another.
4. Anonymity and confidentiality are basic requirements. What is shared in the
group stays in the group. The only exception is when someone threatens to
injure themselves or others.
5. Offensive language has no place in a Christ-centered recovery group.
CELEBRATE RECOVERY SMALL GROUPS CAN:
- Provide you a safe place to share
your experiences, strengths, and hopes with others that are also going through
a Christ-centered recovery.
- Provide you with a leader who has
gone through a similar hurt, hang-up or habit and who will facilitate the group
as it focuses on a particular Step each week. The leader will also follow
Celebrate Recovery’s “Small Group Guidelines.”
- Provide you with the opportunity
to find an Accountability Partner or a Sponsor.
- Encourage you to attend other
recovery meetings held throughout the week.
CELEBRATE
RECOVERY SMALL GROUPS WILL NOT:
- Attempt to offer any professional advice. Our leaders are not
counselors.
- Allow its members to attempt to
“fix” one another.
