Celebrate Recovery is a safe place where five basic guidelines are followed to promote this safe environment. These guidelines help each individual work on self, share personal needs, feelings, ideas and problems. It allows time for all who need to share.

1: Keep your sharing focused on your own thoughts and feelings. Please limit your sharing to 3-5 minutes.

2: There is 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. We will not attempt to "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.

Negative Results Without the guidelines:
Helps us to avoid our own issues.

Makes us observers, not participants.

Puts a safe (and lonely) distance between ourselves and others.

Violates trust and safety.

Makes members afraid to share risky material.

Celebrate Recovery meets every Friday night at the Spring Glen campus in Fall City.
