In the beginning, it was four whole years before Celebrate
Recovery brought permanent sobriety to even one addicted woman. Like the “high
bottoms”, the women said they were different;… The Skid-Rower said he was
different… So did the artist and the professional people, the rich, poor, the
religious, those of little faith, the Indians and Eskimos, the veterans and the
prisoners… Nowadays all of them, and legions more, soberly talk about how very
much alike all of us addicts are when we admit that the chips are finally down.
I cannot consider myself “different” in Celebrate Recovery;
if I do I isolate myself from others and from contact with Jesus Christ, my one
and only higher power. If I feel isolated in Celebrate Recovery, it is not
something for which others are response. It is something I’ve created by
feeling I’m “different” in some way. Today, I practice being just another
addict in the worldwide fellowship of Celebrate Recovery.
